New application querying dnsstuff?
by Jeff Chan 09 Jul '05

09 Jul '05

Does anyone know of a new application doing queries against multi.surbl.org by using dnsstuff's web site, as in: http://www.DNSstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?domain=example.com.multi.surbl.org If so, would you please let them know this is not the right way to query our SURBL lists. It's possibly malware, but more likely some new misbehaving application being run on end user client machines (dsl lines, etc.). Jeff C. -- Don't harm innocent bystanders.

Fw: [SURBL-Discuss] 20050615 embedded image spam

>From an older thread, on Thursday, June 16, 2005 2152: > > >> >20050615-1132 inphonic.com [my original report] ... > Please take no action on this domain until I get back to the group. Please add inphonic.com to the SURBLs. Thank you. I've written to Tripp Donnelly at InPhonic several times and extended my deadline twice. My final deadline expired at 2:00 pm Eastern time today with no further response. They appear unwilling to take substantive action at my request to resolve this matter. InPhonic has forwarded me two brief emails, indicating that their "marketing partner" for the June 15th spam above is Rudy or Rootbert Smith. See Spamhaus Block List 14726 and SBL14683. Regarding 'Clearcut', see SBL20212. Also, regarding FreeDinnerPass, TheUseful and ExpertSavings, please see SBL19390 and SBL26183. My research indicates these spammers have cooperated with each other in the past. They may still be covering for each other today. Rudy Smith falsely claimed that I agreed to this and other spams because I signed up for an Olive Garden coupon last August. Unfortunately for him, I keep track of my web surfing. I have proof that I never gave my direct consent to be spammed by FreeDinnerPass, 'Clearcut' or anyone else to whom FreeDinnerPass provided my address. Again, please add inphonic.com to the SURBLs. Thanks again, Sean Sowell

local whitelists
by Jeff Chan 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

Within the past week or so some developer or administrator of anti-spam software said that they had a large installation or userbase that recently started using SURBLs, but only after they were able to locally whitelist some FPs. I can't find that message currently. Does anyone recall anything like that being said recently somewhere? (Seems I'm on too many mailing lists to keep track of....) I would like to ask them to share their whitelist entries with us so we can prevent FPs more broadly. Does anyone recall a conversation like that recently? If so can you point me to where?
