Here is a list of 130 domains that come from messages have been manually marked as "not spam" at a large but deliberately unnamed mail provider. We may want to consider whitelisting these.

Hi all, I decided it was finally high time to fill out the rsync access form, so I did that yesterday. (By the way, Jeff, I think I forgot to click the "If we may publish..." checkbox. You can pretend I did. ;-) Until I get the access information, is there a perhaps less current source I could do a one-time download from to better test my rbldnsd installation?

[SURBL-Discuss] RE: (1) Another Possible FP, and (2) header parsing issues
by Rob McEwen 12 Aug '04

12 Aug '04

I have a two-part question: (1) header parsing issues... I was reading a web site discussing an implementation of SURBL on the IceWarp web server (using a third party add-on). One person complained that there are too many false positives when submitting IPs and domains found in the header of the e-mail. They felt like ONLY the body of the message should be examined. I see good arguments both ways. For example, parsing the header can catch spam which was originally sent to one place, but then forwarded to another. On the other hand, actual affiliate URLs would only normally occur in the body of the message. Any thoughts or suggestions? (2) Another Possible FP... This person was asked to give an example of a message which shouldn't have been blocked and which would have gone through if the header wasn't parsed. They provided an example which had the following line in the header: Message-ID: <000b01c47f1a$e02f73e0$0200a8c0(a)MUNGED-callatg.com> The offending domain was MUNGED-callatg.com Therefore, I must ask, could MUNGED-callatg.com be a FP? The reason I suspect so is because they mentioned that this company is a division of GE. Please check on this. Rob McEwen

fp whitelisted: callatg.com, others

I've whitelisted: atgi.net callatg.com advancedtelcom.com All of which belong to the same legitimate company. They make telephone switch hardware, etc. and I knew someone who worked there. callatg.com was on ws. Bill can you see how it got on? Jeff C.

Maybe I can ask you to gateway this back to them: SURBLs should be used on message body URIs, not message headers. Though I can see some of the reasons for wanting to try on headers, they're really meant for URIs. I've whitelisted: atgi.net callatg.com advancedtelcom.com All of which belong to the same legitimate company. Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:jeffc@surbl.org http://www.surbl.org/

I would like to hand check these. We should split the list up. I volunteer to check A-H on the list.
