All the rule files are empty! Just a note that tells them where the new ones are. So I guess no one is reading them. They are clearly RDJ scripts that no one has changed. I'm tempted to put an evil regex in there to get their attention, but that is a little too evil :) --Chris

Fraudwatch.com seem to do a great job against phishing monitoring, do you think that it could be possible to work with them for the phising list ?

Anyone from SPEWS around?
by Raymond Dijkxhoorn 19 Jan '05

19 Jan '05

Hi! Sorry to bother all of you with this, but it might help solving a issue we seem to have with a old SPEWS listing: Could anyone involved with SPEWS or with contacts there ask them to remove a block they set in 2002/2003 ? http://www.spews.org/html/S1441.html The seem to have blocked a pretty large range, and that range is also including the SURBL mailinglist server. Obviously some people are missing posts when filtering with SPEWS. We have tried to contact SPEWS but they are not very responsive. We would be rather thankfull if they could exclude 81.23.230.0/24 from their listing, and even better remove the complete block they set. Thanks for your time. Bye, Raymond Dijkxhoorn - SURBL.

linkshield - Premium affiliate link protection
by Alex Broens 15 Jan '05

15 Jan '05

Guys, Getting spams with links to: http://secure. linkshield. com/?c=401&l=12 Seems this so called "Premium affiliate link protection" is being "abused". quite a few dicey nanas and "biz" & "mlm" newsgroup entries. They've been around for a while, but I really doubt if, in this case, that should be take in account. Comments? votes to SURBLize? Alex

I've run multiple analyses on historical datasets, and get a consistent *average* of 82%-86%, so 84% is a decent estimate. The most noteworthy statistical characteristic of the SURBL hit rate over time is the large *variance* in hit rate. Some days, the SURBL hit rate I observe in my data is in the 60%'s, while other days its in the 90%'s. The fluctuation appears to be at least somewhat periodic in nature (several "low" days in a row, followed by several "high" days). I've not actually run the numbers, but my totally informal, *purely gut* sense is that the magnitude of that variance may have diminished lately, but the periodic pattern persists. These periodic fluctuations imply that there is probably some systematic cause underlying this variance, and that cause is itself almost certainly periodic in nature. >I have a feeling if I clean up my >results a bit, that number would be even higher. I've talked about this with Jeff several times, and he's even shared some of my comments with this list. No one in the anti-spam world likes hearing this, but there is very strong evidence of a "hard" statistical detection limit right around ~85%. This limit appears to be more or less independent of data set or detection method. This is not to say that only 85% of spam can be stopped; rather, it implies that no one *single* detection method broadly applicable to spam-as-a-whole can reliably (repeatably, predictably, consistently) snag more than ~85%. (At the risk of sounding testy, I am *not* looking to debate this point. Under the heading of "you can lead a horse to water," I'm content to have anyone to believe anything they like, even if it's demonstrably wrong. All I can do is report empirical results based on multiple analyses, multiple detection methods, multiple datasets, and multiple time periods. The observed ~85% detection limit is remarkably consistent across all these conditions.) One of the vaguely interesting research questions implicit in this result is the determination of the *unique* contribution of any given approach. That is, what %-age of spam *missed by all other approaches* does a particular detection method snag? On my *personal* spam corpus, SURBL's *unique* contribution is in the 18%-20% range.

using multi list as rhsbl

I was just curious if anyone had tried to use any of the surbl.org zones as an rhsbl at the mta level. I just turned it on in "warn only" mode on my postfix box. I did it on both the sender (mail from) and the client (ptr if available). just curious if anyone else had tried or does this. -Matt

securedata.net FP report
by Vincent Schonau 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

One of our users has reported a false positive on id294.securedata.net; securedata.net is listed in ws. I see no sightings more recent than june 2004; and none for this specific subdomain. The domain appears to belong to some sort of shopping-cart service-provider, but I'm unsure who (hostway?). They appear to assign distinct subdomains to distinct customers. What's the policy on this type of thing? To supply a full message I'll have to ask the customer for permission. I'd rather not send it to a publicly archived mailing list, however (customer data 'n all).

quick poll on SURBL hit %
by Chris Santerre 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

Just curious as to what average percent of spam people see SURBL hitting. In a non scientific manor, I average about 85% or greater hitting SURBL for all spam that doesn't get rejected by my MTA. I have a feeling if I clean up my results a bit, that number would be even higher.

Flyer for MIT spam conference?
by Jeff Chan 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

I hope folks going to the MIT spam conference will please consider mentioning SURBLs at least informally. In case it's useful, I've updated the flyer I gave out at CEAS: http://www.surbl.org/flyer.html Comments are welcomed. Jeff C. -- "If it appears in hams, then don't list it."
