Re: Please test ob, ob2, ab

FWIW, I haven't had any fp's, and I've been testing all three since they were released to this list. Of course, I only get about 100-200 spam per day (and 50-100 ham) on my domains. Thanks for all of your hard work! SURBL really reduced my unmarked spam considerably (~75%) over what slipped through with just MS and SA.

I'm taking things one step at a time. I'm way behind in my other SARE projects even now. I can't thnk the other ninjas enough for picking up my slack. SARE and SURBL have great people involved in those projects. And of course, no of this would be possible without the great work of the devs! Who's Kung-fu is mighty! --Chris

[SURBL-Discuss] One resource in identifying spammers trying to use your service
by William Stearns 25 Jun '04

25 Jun '04

Good afternoon, administrator, Thanks for providing the littleurl service - the links you provide are a lot easier to type. I'd like to offer one free resource to you in trying to keep your system from being abused by spammers. I maintain a blacklist of spam domains at http://www.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/ ; the specific file you'll probably want is http://www.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/sa-blacklist.current.domains . This is a list of ~22,700 spammer domains. Would you consider checking the domains people submit for littleurl against that list as part of the littleurl creation process, and if found, perhaps not provide a littleurl for it? If you'd rather not check against a file that large or you want to do this over dns, you can also place a lookup for that domain against submitted.domain.ws.surbl.org - if you get back an "A" record for it, it's in the above list. More details at http://www.surbl.org . Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Cheers, - Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Silly hacker, root is for administrators." -- Unknown (Courtesy of Fabrice MARIE <fabrice(a)celestix.com>) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- William Stearns (wstearns(a)pobox.com).

OT: RBL needed!
by Doc Schneider 25 Jun '04

25 Jun '04

This Off topic but figured most of us all get hit with this stuff. I am in need of a bit of help. I got a whole bunch of open relays doing rumpelstiltskin(sic) attacks on both my main mailserver and my seconary MX server... hitting the secondary and making it throttle the main one. Anyway is there a way to use some of these RBLs to basically deny these open relays to be able to even attempt these attacks? I'm running Sendmail 8.12.11 on Linux... both these boxen run RH 6.2 and are really locked down against other attacks. I use to just drop routes to these idiots but never a good solution IMNSHO 8*) I looked through the sendmail FAQs and didn't find anything that was helpful. Any idea would be more then welcome. -- -Doc --- MomNDoc Online Consultants http://www.maddoc.net/ momndoc(a)maddoc.net

This started with just 3-4 guys, and had no really great way to submit. We got the basics worked out now, and a few more submitters and lots of sources of domains. So actually we are jamming. And we make sure quality comes first over quantity. We HATE false positives here.

Please test ob, ob2, ab
by Jeff Chan 25 Jun '04

25 Jun '04

Yusuf and Suresh of Outblaze have provided a different version of the Outblaze data which excludes some sender domains which are not really relevant to SURBL use. I've put the revised list up as: ob2.surbl.org Please beta test it against ob.surbl.org Please also test ab.surbl.org which are the top 425 or so spamvertised sites from abusebutler.com. So please beta test: ob.surbl.org ob2.surbl.org ab.surbl.org and let us know the results here. ob2 and ab are only on my name server right now, so please don't test on any really large volume mail servers. Hand-checked corpus testing would be ideal, and we're particularly interested in false positives and spam detection percentages. Thanks, Jeff C.

Hello

Hi, I originally found the SURBL site through CPU magazine. I've done some testing with it and I find that the number of domains listed is pretty sparse. Is this project still active? --Dave
