JP removed from WS, zone files removed from web site
by Jeff Chan 08 Feb '05

08 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.

JP data to be removed from WS
by Jeff Chan 03 Feb '05

03 Feb '05

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 (* Previously JP data was merged in with WS data because SpamAssassin 3.0 was released before a separate rule for JP could be added. Adding them into WS was a way to get the benefits of JP into SA 3.0. But the lists are better separately because they have some differing data sources and types.)

SURBL zone files to be removed from web site
by Jeff Chan 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

I will be removing the partial set of SURBL zone files (SC and WS) from the SURBL web site by 7 January 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. The files will probably be deleted and replaced with a custom error message, which hopefully will show up in logs of the script. Darrell of Invariant Systems will also be mentioning this on Declude discussion groups. 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/

SURBL patches for qmail and qmail-ldap
by Jeff Chan 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

Pieter Droogendijk has written patches for qmail and qmail-ldap to support SURBLs: http://www.binky.org.uk/index.html?page=qmail "One patch I've written works by extracting all HTTP URI from a mail message, and look up the minimum of the resulting domain, or IP address, on an internet blacklist, namely SURBL, which was designed specifically for this purpose." His colleague Richard Zuidhof mentions: On his website you can find the code. Regular patch http://www.binky.org.uk/sources/qmail/011_surbl Qmail-ldap patch http://www.binky.org.uk/sources/qmail/011_surbl_ldap Documentation http://www.binky.org.uk/sources/qmail/surbl.txt Cheers, Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:jeffc@surbl.org http://www.surbl.org/
