Written like a true, typical linux lurker! Sometimes it is better to have one on one with somebody who knows what they are doing, than going off of some text from Google.. I got a lot of great help, and got it running in less than an hour.. much less time than it would have taken me to research, read, test, re-research any questions and implement.. Another, better question is.. why do some people feel compelled to reply negatively rather than just ignore? I get more traffic on this … [View More]

DNS for dummies
by rleonard＠opto22.com 20 May '04

20 May '04

Hi all.. I'm a wanna be Linux guy who somehow, even with my own ineptitude, managed to get SA 2.63 with Qmail up and running on Redhat 9.0! Recently I got the SURBL's working and they have helped a LOT (I have a very weak box that is running SA.. so the lookups saved a lot of processing time!).. however.. I have noticed my outgoing traffic on our T1 has shot through the roof. I currently have the Linux box using our ISP's DNS server for lookups.. I'm guessing it would be much more efficient … [View More]

Re: ANTI-SURBL technique used by spammer

Thanks Fred, I have whitelisted freecache.org, which in terms of proper operations of SURBLs should be all that's needed to prevent false positives and allow the actual spam sites to be caught. In terms of using freecache to distribute hosting of the SURBL web site, we'll look into that. I am asking freecache.org to consider blocking access to their services for spammers, as metamark is doing for redirection using SURBL data.

Draft of rbldnsd with BIND under FreeBSD document
by Jeff Chan 20 May '04

20 May '04

Please take a look at my draft document about using rbldnsd with BIND under FreeBSD: http://www.surbl.org/rbldnsd-bind-freebsd.html And let me know if you have any comments, suggestions, corrections, updates, etc. I wasn't really sure what interface to put the fake address on so I used loopback. Is that ok? Style comments are welcome too. Jeff C.
