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.
