Lists archivess are available at correct URL
by Jeff Chan 12 Apr '04

12 Apr '04

Hi All, and Welcome to the folks who recently joined! Looks like the list archive links need a slight fix. Currently the URLs have the host as "localhost.localdomain" where that should be "lists.surbl.org" instead. Let me ask Raymond to please update that config in Mailman. :-) In the meantime all the list archives can be found at: http://lists.surbl.org/pipermail/announce/ http://lists.surbl.org/pipermail/discuss/ http://lists.surbl.org/pipermail/zones/ Of perhaps special interest, please see and comment on the proposal on the discussion list for the second revision of the sc.surbl.org data engine which will resolve spam domains to IP addresses and prejudice future domain reports based on prior statistics for those IP addresses. (These IP addresses would only be used internally and the resulting hopefully-improved RBL data would still be domain-based. It does not represent a shift to a numbered RBL *for URI checking*, which I feel is a suboptimal approach.) I think this could be a very effective way to catch spam operations and spam ISPs with simply more intelligent use of the existing SpamCop URI domain data. That thread starts at: http://lists.surbl.org/pipermail/discuss/2004-April/000002.html Frankly I think it's going to rock and would like your comments on it. Cheers, Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:jeffc@surbl.org http://www.surbl.org/

sa.surbl.org TXT message shanged to add URI
by Jeff Chan 11 Apr '04

11 Apr '04

I've udpated the TXT message for the sa list, addding a URI: "Message body contains domain in sa-backlist." to: "Message body contains domain in sa-backlist. See: http://www.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/" This makes for a slightly larger BIND zonefile, but it's perhaps more descriptive. Comments please to discuss(a)lists.surbl.org .

All three lists set to distribute plain text only
by Jeff Chan 11 Apr '04

11 Apr '04

FWIW I've changed all three lists to send out only plain text. I have no idea if that's standard practice in Mailman, but like most, ahem, experienced Internet users I prefer my mail messages as plaintext. And it was a simple change of the top default content setting, so I assume it's the most common switch used (after ~not filtered). Specifically Mailman will filter out any attachments that are not multipart/mixed, multipart/alternative, or text/plain, and convert any resulting text/html messages to plain text. Messages that have not recursively resolvable plain text are rejected back to the sender with an explanation, if I'm reading the Mailman description correctly.

surbl.com and surbl.net registered
by Jeff Chan 11 Apr '04

11 Apr '04

[re-sending on the more appropriate list] FWIW I just registered surbl.net and surbl.com to prevent doofuses from registering them and setting up bogus RBLs on them, as I recall happened to another RBL. Also set up an Apache redirect permanent for them to www.surbl.org, which remains the real domain and site. Cheers, Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:jeffc@surbl.org http://www.surbl.org/
