Exactly, and do you have any idea how many of the lookups would be needed per day? I do! Enough to get the uribl dns ip doing the lookups, blocked from the whois servers. People running the whois servers don't really play nice with others. You need to approach them very carefully.

Why not integrate a whois date lookup directly into SURBL or URIBL? Design an encoding system whereby suspectedspammydomain.spammertld.dr.surbl.org (or uribl.com) would return the date somehow regex encoded in the IP address. Then write a nice SA rule that decodes it, also using regex. Are there any regex geniuses out there that could encode a date in an IP address? -Matthew > Well this has been brought up before.

newly registered domains
by Matthew Wilson 09 May '05

09 May '05

Does anyone know of a SA rule to check how recently a domain name has been registered? The various uri lookups catch the vast majority of spammy urls during the day, but from 2-5 a.m. CST, my servers get hit with tons of spam with urls that aren't in SURBL yet. All of the domains are newly registered domains (registered in the past week or so). I know that the SARE ninjas have some private tools to do this kind of lookup for their feeds and manual lookups, but I'm wondering if this kind of thing could be worked directly into a SA rule. Thanks, Matthew

I'm sure this is dependent on the mirror we are pulling the zone from, but how often is the source zone updated, and should we expect that mirrors update on a regular schedule around the clock? What I'm getting at is we are monitoring file changes to the zone file to ensure it's updating often, but as of Friday we have received no updates (I'm guessing because it doesn't get updated on the weekends). Is my assumption correct? Does the schedule vary by mirror? If so is there a mirror that anyone knows the replication interval for?

Blacklisting the entire domain can have too many problems. Removing the whole thing would let spammers game these domains. I imagine that SA would need updating a lot for more domains like this.

Brief problem with ab.surbl.org
by Jeff Chan 05 May '05

FWIW there was a brief error where .com got into ab.surbl.org and that caused it to hit all .com domains. This problem lasted an hour or two today and happened between around 01:00 to 0:300 UTC on 5 May 2005. Andy's fixed the data side of AB, and I've added dotted and non-dotted versions of all gtlds and cctlds to the SURBL whitelist to prevent these from getting listed. Source for the cctld list is the standard ARIN page: http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm Cheers, Jeff C. -- Don't harm innocent bystanders.

registrar boundary inconsistencies
by Daniel Quinlan 05 May '05

05 May '05

I ran SURBL (well, a copy a few weeks old) through the split_domains() function in SpamAssassin to see which listings contained both a host+domain rather than just domain from the perspective of SpamAssassin. Those listings would be missed by the URIBL module. These are reversed for easier reading, but basically, it works like this: if this is listed: com.50megs.brisisbri com.50megs.cddvdmp3 com.50megs.slashbackman were these then in SURBL: brisisbri.50megs.com cddvdmp3.50megs.com slashbackman.50megs.com However, the URIDNSBL plugin would catch none of those unless 50megs.com was listed (it's not) since 50megs.com is the domain as far as SpamAssassin is concerned. However, it would catch them if 50megs.com was in SURBL in addition or instead of those hostname.domain combinations. Here is the data. We (SURBL or SpamAssassin) need to do one of these actions for each of these listings and SURBL probably has more to say about it (initially, at least) since it's your database. - change the domain code in SA to consider the domain a registry like eu.org or demon.co.uk (let us know and we'll change our code as long as it makes sense ;-). This means we don't expect blacklist the entire "registry". - SURBL (or your data provider) blacklists the entire domain - remove the hostname.domain listings ... why bother if nothing's going to hit them Daniel ------- start of cut text -------------- br.adm.etiquetabordada br.adm.hbl br.adm.max br.adm.mensagemonline br.adm.mundial br.adm.ondec-sp br.adm.wfh1000 br.pro.additionalservices br.pro.adorationsofallinvoled br.pro.allourchoices br.pro.applieapplestosciene br.pro.bojengles br.pro.clemts br.pro.considerothers br.pro.crazyarrra br.pro.e-server br.pro.exodus br.pro.havealook br.pro.ifnotnowwhen br.pro.interarmaenimsilentleges br.pro.keepthepeaceprocess br.pro.keepyourheadup br.pro.krisenmj br.pro.mastrmnd br.pro.muchmorefor-you br.pro.raisetheblackflag br.pro.saveourselves br.pro.solarityinfstr br.pro.strcturedsizeappl br.pro.thisisthetime br.pro.trabalho br.pro.wwolf359 br.pro.xerion com.50megs.brisisbri com.50megs.cddvdmp3 com.50megs.slashbackman com.netfirms.chasyfogin com.netfirms.chrterone com.netfirms.citl5d8rdsir com.netfirms.desynecyx com.netfirms.ebfeesycom com.netfirms.gsternal com.netfirms.minakis30 com.netfirms.ww2-serv-wm com.port5.1stsource com.port5.e-suntrust com.proxymyworld com.proxymyworld.charterone com.proxymyworld.citifinancial com.proxymyworld.citizensbank com.proxymyworld.regionsnet com.tripod.billebay com.tripod.paypalzzzz ee.pri.highlight ee.pri.zammy kg.pe kg.pe.ebaycom kg.pe.halifax-online kr.es kr.es.bos kr.es.cabs kr.es.wbong net.cjb.account-overdue net.cjb.cgi4-awconfirmisapidll-38u3428 net.cjb.dh7wznrj net.cjb.updateyourpaypai net.ebay-online net.ebay-online.information net.ebay-online.verify net.ohaime.bankofoklahoma net.ohaime.charterone net.ohaime.lasallebank net.userset.uk.co.barclays net.userset.uk.co.halifax-online net.userset.uk.co.nationwide nr.co.hahano nr.co.moot ro.go ro.go.accshert ro.go.citicards1 ro.go.luca2003 ro.home.hai-saruta-ma ro.home.login543644 ro.home.rranostand ro.home.xyxca ru.da.49 ru.da.5120 ru.da.aavm59jk ru.da.gvqw30fsg ru.nm.berawepoy ru.nm.lo409fds ru.nm.m5nu728f ru.nm.saoretwas st.cn.adult-portal st.cn.boysarchive st.cn.gowdot st.cn.kindyraod st.cn.underageworld st.hk.7now st.hk.adult-portal st.hk.adultworld st.hk.animeangels st.hk.boys-portal st.hk.comics-evolution st.hk.hotgirlsphotos st.hk.lollyedition7 st.hk.mydreamlo st.hk.ppvcd st.hk.uderageworld st.hk.ummmyea st.hk.undersites st.hk.underworld st.hk.undworld st.hk.x-adult st.sg.adult-portal st.sg.adultworld st.sg.comics-evolution st.sg.factoryb st.sg.felcorp st.sg.jklos st.sg.lolmag4 st.sg.ptz-portal st.sg.undworld st.sg.uworld st.tw.adult-portal st.tw.adultworld st.tw.redvids2 st.ye.hegre st.ye.lesbian us.onlinehome.s110082232 us.onlinehome.s117107589 us.onlinehome.s118791939 ------- end ---------------------------- -- Daniel Quinlan http://www.pathname.com/~quinlan/

Why on earth would you think I would remove it??? I would never recommend that unless you did something completely ridiculous....like saying baseball is better then Ice Hockey :) --Chris

Its bad enough he would be throwing ninja smoke bombs and deadly darts. But he's also highly medicated! He might get out the dym-mak (Death Touch!) It would be just like the time Ninja Bob got into the Saki closet! Ninja Fred is still healing! --Chris (Run ninjas-----RUN!)

In everyone of my projects, there is a group. I can, and have, been overruled in a heartbeat. Frankly, I think a few of those guys like to do it for fun. I know I enjoy it when they do it :) So yes, there would have had to have been a vote. But the thought never crossed my mind to remove. Why would it? I still love you like a long lost, twice removed, step cousin that used to steal my bike ;) Or are you just asking about the "choice" part? I meant its your choice if you would like to leave it up or down. I'm sure the group would go either way. If you have less people handling submissions and want to tell ppl to report to SC, that might be good. I'm here to help. Seriously...I am! Stop laughing! --Chris (I'm joking. I still like Jeff. Much more when BF2 comes out!)
