Exim SURBL Script updated again for bug fix
by Jeff Chan 01 May '05

01 May '05

From: Erik Mugele Date: Sunday, May 1, 2005, 6:54:04 PM Subject: Exim/SURBL Script Problems I introduced an error into the last version of the SURBL Perl script for Exim. The error didn't have anything to do with the whitelisting but was a result of me messing with the code. In short, only the fully qualified domain was being checked and nothing else. So, for example, if the URL was http://www.teuton.org www.teuton.org was the only thing being checked but not teuton.org. I noticed this when several pieces of spam slipped in. This problem was introduced in version 1.1 when I added whitelisting and I have released version 1.2 to fix the problem.

Welcoming new public name server
by Jeff Chan 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

We'd like to welcome and thank the addition of a new public SURBL name server g3.surbl.org administered by: Panagiotis Christias of National Technical University of Athens in Greece Without our public nameservers and the help of their administrators, SURBLs would not be possible. Our thanks to all of them! Jeff C. P.S. We could still use some help with public DNS. If you have a network that can handle an extra 200k bits per second to megabit of traffic and a server to run rbldnsd, please contact me. rbldnsd is very efficient so the server requirements are relatively minimal. -- Jeff Chan mailto:jeffc@surbl.org http://www.surbl.org/

JP removed from WS, zone files removed from web site
by Jeff Chan 07 Feb '05

07 Feb '05

This is a reminder that we have taken the JP data out of WS and have deleted the WS and SC SURBL zone files form the SURBL web site, as previously announced last week. Here are some relevant parts of those announcements: > We will be removing the data in jp.surbl.org from ws.surbl.org on > February 7th. If you are using SpamAssassin and don't already > have a separate rule for JP, then please add one as described > in the SURBL Quick Start: > > http://www.surbl.org/quickstart.html > > When SpamAssassin 3.1 is released, it will also include a separate > rule for JP. > > If you are using other programs, please check that they are using > JP in addition to the other lists in multi. JP is bitmask > 127.0.0.64 in multi.surbl.org and it has a relatively high spam > detection rate and low false positive rate, so it's definitely > worth using. More information can be found on the Lists page: > > http://www.surbl.org/lists.html > I will be removing the partial set of SURBL zone files (SC and > WS) from the SURBL web site by 7 February 2005. This will mainly > effect users of Roger Eriksson's Windows command script which > downloads the SC zone file using wget then checks SUBRL domains > against message bodies in Declude JunkMail. It should not affect > most other users of SURBLs, since other applications use the > preferred DNS lookups to get SURBL data. This change does not > affect SURBL name servers or name service, nor are any changes > required to them or applications that use their services. [...] > As an alternative for users of the command script, SURBLs can be > checked in Declude Junkmail using invURIBL, as mentioned in an > earlier announcement, and the DNS method it uses is definitely > preferred. > > Here is that part of the earlier announcement: > > 12/31/04: Invariant Systems has written a Windows URI > extraction tool invURIBL which can check message body URIs > against SURBLs. It can be used standalone or as plugin to any > Windows mail server that can call an external application and > process the return code. For example, it is finding use with > Declude for Imail. > > http://www.invariantsystems.com/invURIBL/default.htm > > Probably other plug-in type filters which support SURBLs can be > used with Declude Junkmail and other similar mail programs. > > http://www.surbl.org/links.html Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:jeffc@surbl.org http://www.surbl.org/
