Exim/SURBL Script v1.9 Release
by Jeff Chan 14 Oct '06

14 Oct '06

Erik Mugele writes: I have released version 1.9 of my embedded Perl script for Exim. The major change in this release is the mandatory use of a whitelist. The script will fail if the location of the whitelist (and the ccTLD.txt file) is not set correctly in the script. The distributed whitelist contains the domains (as of 12 Oct 06) that will not by blacklisted. Use of the whitelist file will prevent unnecessary queries. Some additional efficiency tweaks were also made to the script. See http://www.teuton.org/~ejm/exim_surbl to download the script, for details on changes, as well as usage and installation instructions.

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.
