One thing I notice is that the IP addresses of blacklisted domains are not always listed in the BL as well. For example, when I look up: ghcclccc.biz.multi.surbl.org It's listed. However, when I look up: 72.2.139.221.multi.surbl.org it's not listed. Might I suggest that all domains listed in the BL also include corresponding IP addresses? --Dave

A question on policy
by Chris Santerre 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

I was doing some browsing of NANAE and came across something interesting. http://tinyurl.com/2xkyw But the thread basically says that uptilt.com (a known spam sender) was hired by tonyrobbins.com to advertise. So they sent out spam. Now my question is, do we list them? Do we list somewhat legit domains that hire these people without (or maybe with) the knowledge that they will spam? I'm leaning towards yes, in the hopes they will learn to choose their advertisers more carefully. Thoughts?

The thread I had found this in didn't contain the full body. However I searched and found a copy and sure enough, there is an uptilt.com link. It's on it's way to SURBL now :) As always J, Thanks! --Chris >-----Original Message----- >From: jm(a)jmason.org [mailto:jm@jmason.org] >Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2004 4:16 PM >To: Jeff Chan; SURBL Discussion list >Subject: Re: [SURBL-Discuss] A question on policy > > >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >Hash: SHA1 > > >In terms of the message, does uptilt.com have any links in it? often >in this situation they'd have added an "unsubscribe" link of their >own which SURBL would then catch. > >- --j. > >Jeff Chan writes: >> On Thursday, June 24, 2004, 9:16:51 AM, Chris Santerre wrote: >> > But the thread basically says that uptilt.com (a known >spam sender) was >> > hired by tonyrobbins.com to advertise.

by Mariano Absatz 23 Jun '04

23 Jun '04

Hi, I don't know who's maintaing http://spamcheck.freeapp.net/two-level-tlds but I'd think a couple of domains could be added for .ar (Argentina). I only see: com.ar (commercial) org.ar (non-commercial) net.ar (isp's and the like) Argentina also uses: gov.ar (government) mil.ar (armed forces) edu.ar (universities and university-related research groups) esc.edu.ar (elementary schools, high schools and other (non-universitary educational institutions). Regards.

Another list to test: ab.surbl.org
by Jeff Chan 23 Jun '04

23 Jun '04

We have turned the top 425 or so domains from Andy Warner's AbuseButler - Spamvertised Sites list: http://spamvertised.abusebutler.com/ into a beta SURBL for testing: ab.surbl.org again this one is only hosted on a few name servers now so please don't use it for production yet. We'd like your feedback about performance, false positives, etc. Andy's data is quite similar in principle to my SpamCop data in sc.surbl.org. His list is ranked by number of batched reports in a 7 day window, and he has various data sources. I'm inviting Andy to discuss this further here. Jeff C.

I've tried like 5-6 mirrors to pick up the 2.63 Plug-In, and none of them can read the file. Is there someplace I can FTP the tarball from? Thanks!
