Postfix now supports SURBL checking via milter-link
by Jeff Chan 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Anthony Howe has upgraded his milters to work with Postfix 2.3 and its new Sendmail 8 milter support. This means that Postfix can now filter based on SURBL hits using milter-link: http://www.snertsoft.com/sendmail/milter-link/ In addition he reports: "Also in this update, milter-link/0.3 has been updated to support aggregate list bit masks and added a new option policy-links."

Don't use compression on rsync
by Jeff Chan 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

Please don't use compression (-z) when rsyncing any zone files, whether the files are already compressed or not. Compression slows down the process since it uses significant CPU on both sides. And it certainly would not make sense to try to compress the already compressed files. There would be no significant file size savings, and the CPU usage would be significant. For rsyncing the uncompressed files, the amount of data transferred is usually very small since only a few records change (if any) at any given time, so again compression just adds unnecessary overhead. Therefore please don't use the rsync compression option. Thank you, Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:jeffc@surbl.org http://www.surbl.org/

gz versions of rbldnsd zone files available
by Jeff Chan 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

At Raymond's suggestion, we are now making available gzipped versions of the rbldnsd zone files. They are significantly smaller than the original text versions. This is to correspond to the recent addition of gzipped file support to rbldnsd: http://www.corpit.ru/mjt/rbldnsd/NEWS Note that most installations and applications should only need to use the multi.surbl.org list, since multi includes all production lists.

sc2 removed, please update any test and nameserver configs
by Jeff Chan 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

sc2.surbl.org, the test list for the revised sc list, has been removed. If you were using it in test configurations, then please remove it. If you were serving the zone for public queries then please remove the zone from your nameserver configs. Thanks for your help in testing and serving it. The sc list has been using the revised data for about a year, so sc2 has been redundant since then. Cheers, Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:jeffc@surbl.org http://www.surbl.org/
