[SURBL-Announce] SURBL testpoint changed, TXT records shortened

Here are a couple changes to the SURBL testpoints and TXT records:

http://www.surbl.org/news.html

4/20/04: SURBL testpoints "example.com" have been changed to "surbl-org-permanent-test-point.com" to avoid potential spam detection on sample URIs.

So the SURBL testpoints are now:

Name: test.sc.surbl.org.sc.surbl.org (with ws for sc, etc.) Address: 127.0.0.2

Name: test.surbl.org.sc.surbl.org Address: 127.0.0.2

Name: 2.0.0.127.sc.surbl.org Address: 127.0.0.2

Name: surbl-org-permanent-test-point.com.sc.surbl.org Address: 127.0.0.2

4/20/04: TXT record for sc.surbl.org is changed from:

"Message body contains recently and multiply-reported SpamCop spamvertised domain."

to:

"Message body contains SpamCop spamvertised domain."

TXT record for ws.surbl.org is changed from:

"Message body contains domain in sa-blacklist. See: http://www.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/"

to:

"Blocked, See: http://www.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/".

Please update any test suites, rules, configs and other code accordingly. We expect these to be (more) stable. :-)

(The default/sample SA 2.63 SpamCopURI and SA 3.0 urirhsbl rules seem to write their own text descriptions based on the A record, so these changes probably do not affect most SpamAssassin users of SURBLs. Other applications may need to make adjustments if they were using the TXT records.)
