RE: [SURBL-Discuss] More possible FPs

Can't read russian: http://www.findaworkinnet.narod.ru/new.htm Lots of hits on NANAS for Narod.ru. But looks like the sites get taken down quick? Not sure if that is planned though. Russian ISPs aren't known for their fight against spam. And trafficzap.com appears in only a few NANAS posts. All of them also contain sitepronews.com. So there may be a connection there. --Chris >-----Original Message----- >From: Joseph Burford [mailto:joseph.burford@gmail.com] >Sent: Friday, August 20, 2004 6:10 AM >To: discuss(a)lists.surbl.org >Subject: [SURBL-Discuss] More possible FPs > > >When the WS team get a moment they may like to have a look at why >trafficMUNGEDzap.com and narMUNGEDod.ru are listed. > >Saw them both in a legit mailing today, although they may not actually >be legit in themselves :-) > >Plain text http://www.ntjl.net/surbl/20040820-ws-fp.txt >HTML http://www.ntjl.net/surbl/20040820-ws-fp.html > >Regards, > >Joseph >_______________________________________________ >Discuss mailing list >Discuss(a)lists.surbl.org >http://lists.surbl.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss >

When the WS team get a moment they may like to have a look at why trafficMUNGEDzap.com and narMUNGEDod.ru are listed. Saw them both in a legit mailing today, although they may not actually be legit in themselves :-) Plain text http://www.ntjl.net/surbl/20040820-ws-fp.txt HTML http://www.ntjl.net/surbl/20040820-ws-fp.html Regards, Joseph

MSGID_FROM_MTA_SHORT - scoring..
by Mark Thomas 20 Aug '04

20 Aug '04

Hi, Can any of you SA/Surbl gurus tell me where I can change the scoring of this rule? (I assume, probably incorrectly that this is a Surbl rule...) ;) The default of 3.3 is a bit high for this organisation and I would like to drop it down somewhat. Many thanks Mark

Announcing the Spamtrappers list
by jm＠jmason.org 19 Aug '04

19 Aug '04

Hi all -- It occurred to me recently that maybe quite a lot of the innards of spamtrap systems are being kept more secret than they need to be, and a public mailing list for spamtrap operators would be well worthwhile. There's a number of things that would be improved through sharing our techniques, suggestions, possibly even data -- - new scaling mechanisms; - what to do with all that spam - where to report, ways to analyze it, etc.; - new protocols for dealing effectively with massive quantities of spam - for example, using SMTP to deliver spamtrap data is not necessarily required, since reliability isn't as important for spam forwarding as it is for ham, considering the volumes; - an "open source" approach to the problem; there's currently a lot of secrecy, and probably more than is really required (as long as we don't spill the beans on what domains and addresses we're collecting from). Being able to share thoughts can be very useful, esp. when someone notices some new spammer behaviour. The list info and subscription page is here: http://lists.taint.org/mailman/listinfo/spamtrappers/ --j.
