Since we provide a service to do just this using SURBL hopefully this isn't taken as a spam to this list. I thought it would be useful for folks at SURBL and list members to know who use SURBL. Perhaps a list should be kept somewhere listing folks making use of SURBL. We have high regards for the SURBL folks and it is in the mix of many methods we use to combat spam at SimpleFilter. We have a POP3 and SMTP service that uses the same backend anti-spam engine and can be used from Thunderbird as it works with any POP3 email client. The SMTP service has some additional features I won't go into here.

RE: Geocities (Spammers, Joe Jobbers, & Pron Spam)

RE: Geocities (Spammers, Joe Jobbers, & Pron Spam) Over the past few months, I've had an enormous amount of problems with e-mail which either: --was spam advertising a geocities hosted web site --was child-pron spam advertising a geocities... --was one of the previous two, but a joe jobs against me (interestingly, the joe jobs against me started just AFTER I began reporting the child-pron spams... I wonder if my complaint e-mails to geocities were "shared" with the wrong people?) I know that Geocities does police their system and they do kick off spammers and kiddie-pron. However, it is getting to the point out of all the mail coming to my server which contain a geocities address, at least half of these fit into one of these categories. Also, new geocities sites involved in this behavior pop up just as fast at the old accounts are terminated. (BTW - one common tactic is for the homes page to still be the initial splash page and the actual child pron content is then "buried" inside. The Geocities admins need to know this and "dig deeper" to keep this stuff out on the front end of the process.) Maybe if enough of the right people get this message, Geocities will clean up their act? Any suggestions? Rob McEwen

foothill .net Joe jobbed?
by Chris Santerre 15 Dec '04

15 Dec '04

I see lots of NANAE and NANAS hits for foothill .net, but they all seem to be Joe Jobs. Anyone know why? Are they legit? They have requested removal from SURBL listing. I'm leaning towards removal at this point.

Thunderbird and SURBL?
by Chris Santerre 14 Dec '04

14 Dec '04

Thinking out loud.... Anyone have contact with thunderbird devs? Could a pop proxy be used to check emails being downloaded by thunderbird on SURBL, then decline to download the ones that hit? Obviously with whitelist bypasses? Then the user could use a web client to delete spams without downloading? Or whatever.....

This one is puzzling. Anyone have more info? Jeff C. -- "If it appears in hams, then don't list it."

In rxwhois 1.7.1 dedicated to one "Jeff Chan" <eg> I've added support for either 127.0.X.Y or 127.1.X.Y. The latter is for OPM and allows up to 16 bits. For the former I now display 127.0.0.0/31 as "utter dubious". 2.0.0.127.wadb.isipp.com = 127.0.0.1, I'll probably eliminate WADB, it's below my minimal standards for any well-behaved BL. We can discuss about more than 16 bits in 2006, is that okay ? > Comments? I'm not sure why OPM uses 127.1.0.Y instead of 127.0.0.Y. A simple explanation would be "avoid 127.0.0.0/31 like hell and allow up to 8 bits in Y". Another explanation could be "no 127.0.0.0/31, up to 16 bits in 127.1.X.Y, _and_ additionally a version number in the case of incompatible changes, starting with version 1 in 127.1.X.Y".
