Not funny but >not something you'd want to mess with either.... :-) Give me more time, and I will find some pics to try that approach. But for now, what is the last thing a spammer sees before being hit by the SURBL "Sewer Bull" or "Sir Bull"?? Give up? http://www.merchantsoverseas.com/wwwroot/gorilla/surbl2.jpg :-) --Chris

RE: OfficeTeam.com FP??? A hand-typed legitimate mail sent to my client which my client is expecting is having problems because this message contains the domain name "officeTeam.com" and OfficeTeam.com is currently listed by SURBL. Should this be listed? If so, what are the "offenses" so can I understand how/why is is listed in SURBL? Thanks, Rob McEwen

SURBL Server mostly back
by Jeff Chan 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

It too longer than it should, but there are now filters in place against the syn flood my server got on port 80 in addition to icmp attacks probably against DNS. They came from many different source addresses and were directed to my server only, so it was definitely a mildy competent DDOS attack. Peak traffic was about 20 Megabits, probably limited by the available network bandwidth. None of this significantly affected SURBL performance, and things should be operating normally again now. We will be taking steps to further reduce the effects of attacks like this. Until the SYN packets stop, the web site will remain down. Would anyone like to help mirror the largely static and relatively tiny SURBL web site? Jeff C. -- "If it appears in hams, then don't list it."

OK, let's ask Raymond and Joe to remove the JP data from WS before your final pre-3.1 mass check. Should we do that now? >> One of the things we planned for it was to move JP data out of WS on >> the SURBL lists. > So, WS includes all of JP? Or, are JP entries individually considered > and added manually over time to WS? Or, is the problem something else? WS includes all of JP. They're simply added in right now. That's because 3.0.0 came out before you could add a separate rule for JP, and we wanted to get the benefit of JP into 3.0.0. Is there a separate rule for JP now? If not would you please add one?

SURBL DOS
by Chris Santerre 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

I just got a call from Jeff. www.surbl.org is under what appears to be a DDOS attack :) Wheeeeeee!!! Which means.......not much. It has no effect on the SURBL lists. All it does it slowdown whitelist requests, and make it difficult for people to read about SURBL :) And Jeff won't be able to reply to people right away. I'm sure Jeff will post when the storm is over. He already had a backup site half done, so this will be fixed soon. A big thanks to all the public mirrors of SURBL! You are what keeps this running!!
