[SURBL-Announce] ANNOUNCE: lists.surbl.org added MXer: vmx03.prolocation.net
by Jeff Chan 18 Jul '04

18 Jul '04

We've added another round robin primary MXer for lists.surbl.org, where the SURBL mailing lists are coming from: vmx03.prolocation.net In case anyone is somehow authenticating sending servers, you may need to add this new server to any mail server whitelists, etc. The prolocation addresses and servers are generally not on RBLs, but it has been mentioned that some of their IPs may be listed in SPEWs (which is being checked and corrected if so). We mention this mainly because some people have gotten bounce (delivery failure) notifications from our Mailman (mailing list manager program) lately, and had their mail automatically disabled. To re-enable it, follow the instructions in the notification or visit the lists web site: http://lists.surbl.org/ This could also perhaps have been caused an intermittent problem while the new MXer was propagating in the DNS. lists.surbl.org preference = 10, mail exchanger = vmx01.prolocation.net lists.surbl.org preference = 10, mail exchanger = vmx02.prolocation.net lists.surbl.org preference = 10, mail exchanger = vmx03.prolocation.net lists.surbl.org preference = 100, mail exchanger = mx03.prolocation.net lists.surbl.org preference = 200, mail exchanger = mx01.prolocation.net lists.surbl.org preference = 300, mail exchanger = mx02.prolocation.net lists.surbl.org preference = 500, mail exchanger = mx04.prolocation.net vmx01.prolocation.net internet address = 212.127.254.132 vmx02.prolocation.net internet address = 212.127.254.133 vmx03.prolocation.net internet address = 81.23.230.33 mx03.prolocation.net internet address = 194.171.240.23 mx01.prolocation.net 213.73.255.243 mx02.prolocation.net 213.197.29.6 mx04.prolocation.net 213.206.89.181 Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:jeffc@surbl.org http://www.surbl.org/

We'd like to welcome and thank another new public name server administered by: Lindsay Snider of pa.net Without the help of all of our public nameservers and their administrators, SURBLs would not be possible. Thanks all! Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:jeffc@surbl.org http://www.surbl.org/

We'd like to welcome and thank a new public name server administered by: Mike Atkinson of kconline.com Without the help of all of our public nameservers and their administrators, SURBLs would not be possible. Thanks Mike, kconline and all! If anyone else would like to provide DNS for SURBLs to the Internet community, please contact us at rsync at surbl.org. :-) Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:jeffc@surbl.org http://www.surbl.org/

[SURBL-Announce] ANNOUNCE: New whitelist source: public companies' domains
by Jeff Chan 01 Jul '04

01 Jul '04

I've added a new whitelist source: domains of publically-traded companies listed at dmoz and Google: http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Major_Companies/Publicly_Traded/ http://directory.google.com/Top/Business/Major_Companies/Publicly_Traded/ (Public listing in this context means companies that can sell stock on U.S. exchanges. It includes mostly U.S. and some foreign companies, from large to small.) Each yields lists of about 4300 or so of mostly the same domains which are now all excluded from SURBLs. Here are the extracted dmoz and Google public company domain lists: http://spamcheck.freeapp.net/whitelists/public-companies-domains.dmoz.sort http://spamcheck.freeapp.net/whitelists/public-companies-domains.google.sort The scripts which produce these are at: http://spamcheck.freeapp.net/whitelists/public-companies/grab-dmoz http://spamcheck.freeapp.net/whitelists/public-companies/grab-google They're called from a cron job nightly to help keep the lists up to date. These new whitelists hit only a few production SURBL domains (at 14 out of about 40k records): autoweb.com cott.com egreetings.com fs.com infousa.com insweb.com ivillage.com learningtree.com mediabay.com net.com netcreations.com nutrisystem.com scholastic.com spss.com Interestingly, the 6dos data in ds.surbl.org hit a mostly different set: alloy.com befree.com commtouch.com digitalimpact.com doubleclick.com elsitio.com euniverse.com harrisinteractive.com herbalife.com infousa.com lifeminders.com mediaplex.com ncen.com netcreations.com netiq.com networkcommerce.com pcmall.com real.com uslec.com But the hits against 6dos are also few (at 19 out of about 87k records).
