We have been having an increase in the number of phishing messages that slip through our antispam solution. We currently use Can-IT which includes an instance of SpamAssasin which has active scanning on for SURBL.
We recognize that no current solution is going to be 100% effective - however one of the most recent phishing messages that got through was for a link which appeared to already be in phishtank.com data (see http://www.phishtank.com/phish_detail.php?phish_id=1068849)
We had been working to see if we could incorporate phishtank.com data in the Can-IT environment to add one more source of blocks for these messages to plug some more holes when we noticed per http://www.phishtank.com/friends.php that SURBL appeared to already be listed as using (in some way) phishtank data.
We presumed that http://www.surbl.org/lists.html#ph probably used it - but tests seem to have test messages with that url receiving no points inbound.
Further testing on the SURBL lookup returned that w3t.org wasn't listed (which makes sense as the underlying url above is a shortener so it's only the extended url that is listed in phishtank and worth flagging on - does SURBL only accept root domains for listing?
Basically we're just trying to figure out if this is a config error on our part or a misunderstanding on our part of how SURBL uses phishtank.com data and/or classifies reported phishing sites and subdirectories in the first place.
Thanks in advance for any insight!

Hello,
My domain is Sandestin.com. We are having some issues of our emails being blocked as spam. The message is 552 tin.com found in SURBL: Blocked, tin.com on lists [ws], See: http://www.surbl.org/lists.html. My domain isn't on the lookup but tin.com. Where do you think this issue lies? Is it SURBL or the spam filtering that is using surbl?

Hi all,
One of my users sent email someone and received a rejected notice. Here
it is:
host mx01.lastspam.com[64.15.150.3] said: 550-5.7.1 rejected
content,
black listed 2010.In by multi.surbl.org. #762 #895
(m6F1MY037314479000)
The attachments being sent were a 38 KB Excel file, and 1 MB PowerPoint.
I understand that SURBL checks for websites and URLs inside the email,
but I can't seem to find anything about SURBL lists rejecting content.
I'm inquiring as we need to make sure these attachments get to the
recipient.
Thanks,
Will
Hello,
is there any page i can verify the source mails or urls which has led to the listing of the domain "ncsrv.de" at SURBL?
This domain is used as a alternative url for almost every server in our network (server1 ... server99999.ncsrv.de), so websites are available even no customer domain is routed on the certain server.
We use this domain also as internal identifier, also included in the host name configuration.
As you will understand a full control over every URL used in unsolicited messages is almost impossible because we have a lot of root systems, so we can not shut down every listed URLs immediately.
Is there a possibility to check for new entries at SURBL automatically so we can respond to that issue?
Thanks,
Rafael

Hi,
I have tried to send an email from the Lookup page, but that email is bouncing.
What am I missing? Whom can I contact to get my IP unlisted, given
that it's now been a month since it's been wrongly put in the list?
Thanks

Well luckily I'm the mail administrator on both sides of this issue! :)
What I found was that my firewall on the receiving side has a feature that utilizes uribl. Disabling this feature stopped the email rejections.
Upon further investigation into this (with the help of some others folks) it was determined that uribl might have changed the way they do their blacklist notifications now. It looks like their "whitelists" (i.e. those that should not be blocked) also return results now - which is probably why the uribl feature blocks the email.
http://uribl.com/about.shtml
>From what I can see, their whitelist is not included in the multi list or its not working.
I maybe off base on this but wanted to post what I have found so far. I am currently catching up on all the suggestions and info presented so far.
Thanks again for everybody's help.

I've been researching an issue where emails are getting rejected with these NDR errors:
An error occurred while trying to deliver this message to the recipient's e-mail address. Microsoft Exchange will not try to redeliver this message for you. Please try resending this message, or provide the following diagnostic text to your system administrator.
The following organization rejected your message: smoothwall.
_____
Sent by Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
Diagnostic information for administrators:
#552 www.w3.org in multi.surbl.org: 74.63.164.174 ##
#552 www.w3.org in multi.surbl.org: 204.232.162.153 ##
If I'm reading this correctly the emails are being rejected cause the multi.susrbl.org found a reference to w3.org in a HTML email??
How can this be fixed/removed/corrected?
Thanks,
Duane
Hello everyone,
I am a freehosting sysadmin and we are providing free registration of a
3-level domain within our 2-level domains.
As registration is free, some abuse is possible, but it does not appear
to be fair to list entire 2-level domain because of some abusers, which
would list innocent sites within same domain.
I am wondering, how our domains can be included in
http://www.surbl.org/tld/two-level-tlds ?
I see similar freehosting domain in this file, such as
by.ru, chat.ru, front.ru, hotbox.ru, hotmail.ru, land.ru
and others.
Here is the list of our freehosting domains:
aiq.ru
al.ru
bip.ru
bos.ru
dax.ru
dem.ru
dtn.ru
far.ru
fud.ru
hobi.ru
hop.ru
metastock.ru
pips.ru
rxt.ru
supercharts.ru
tora.ru
vipcentr.ru
vipshop.ru
viptop.ru
vov.ru
wallst.ru
webservis.ru
A right contact suggestions for this question or other hint would be
appreciated.

Hi List,
I noticed in Spamassassin bugzilla:
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6335
that there are 2 new TLD files available for uses with SURBL:
"two-level-tlds" and "three-level-tlds".
However, I am wondering where these files should be placed and if they
need to be renamed and have .cf appended to them like the "90_2tld.cf"
file URIBL supplies?
Thanks in advance for any guidance or feedback.
Regards,
Bill
