RE: [SURBL-Discuss] Improved name server status page
by William C. Devine II 24 Aug '04

You could keep a generic list of nameservers such as 'Server 1', 'Server 2', etc, which correlates to 'ns1', 'ns2', etc. It'd just add a level of obscurity and require just a little more of a monkey to figure out though. william -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Chan [mailto:jeffc@surbl.org] Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2004 6:40 AM To: SURBL Discuss Subject: Re: [SURBL-Discuss] Improved name server status page On Tuesday, August 24, 2004, 6:32:44 AM, Chris Santerre wrote: > That is very cool!

Yeah that kind of raised some flags for me too, but the servers are easy enough to find, and the names of the servers are not unique due to the round robin. For example e.surbl.org resolves to two different name servers. So the only thing unique and used for the subdomains are their IP addresses. I suppose we could set up another set of aliases for them, but kind of don't want another set to maintain. (The old style ns1, ns2, etc. names remain but for BIND type servers for the parent zone. They have already diverged from the rbldnsd servers.)

Improved name server status page
by Jeff Chan 24 Aug '04

24 Aug '04

I've set up a better SURBL name server status page at: http://www.surbl.org/nameservers-output.html which is also linked from the main page. It shows some latency in zone file propagation, and it also shows one of the name servers down. (Bjorn is that coming back eventually?) We may want to ask all the public name servers to rsync every 10 minutes.... Would that be OK Raymond? Currently I have the DNS timeout set to 10 seconds with two retries. What kind of values are more typical or standard for resolvers? I will use the scripts that generate the page to send notifications (probably to myself at first) once things stabilize. Since events don't happen very often, it's probably not necessary to show a history on the page. Comments? Jeff C.

Add Vanuatu (.vu) to countries?
by John Lundin 24 Aug '04

24 Aug '04

Using SpamCopURI, ws.surbl.org FP'ed some mail from Fedora-List. http://dirk-wendland.deMUNGED.vu/ (a personal webpage in a sig). WS contains deMUNGED.vu. But they're a registrar. (.vu is Vanuatu.) So perhaps SURBL should whitelist de.vu and check at third level? -- lundin(a)fini.net "Not only did we get you an apple with a mouse like you asked, we also got you a banana with a lizard."

[SURBL-Discuss] Geturi 1.4 released! (The SURBL URI classification helper)

24 Aug '04

Finally. I've been taunting you poor folks for weeks, now. :-) Here it is: http://ry.ca/geturi/ -- geturi v1.4 >From the DESCRIPTION: geturi is designed to process a directory containing a list of RFC822 messages (one message per file). It analyses each message, attempts to strip out as many unclickable URIs as possible, and then compiles the list of found URIs, putting HTML output on STDOUT. What I'd *like* to see are a bunch of people using this, and some suggestions for improvement (I already have quite a few, some of which are in the TODO section of the documentation). I'd call this alpha code at the moment, for want of testers, but I don't know of any huge bugs.

Auto adding detected "static 'front page' sites".
by Christiaan den Besten 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

After working through today's spam I was amused we (almost) only received spam for 3 site's: The following (some old) url's to these sites are still alive: - : sublunary1132nx.com - : ourpillsdirect.com - : naturalwellnessessence.com Naturally all domains were added to the prolocation rbl and the (low)spam decreased within the hour :). But I was wondering .. a small test with a simple 'diff' script showed me that comparing output from url's found in 'fresh' spam with known spam-sites is doable. These guys seem to be changing domains every 8 hours or so... Would it be bad to have some of these (stupid) 'static webpage hosting' spammers automaticly being added to the WS list by comparing the output of their home page advertised in the url? It's fairly easy to create a script to do this ... that's not the issue.... what could go wrong ?.. any input would be appreciated :) Secondly, while doing these tests I noticed that a lot of the sites listed in (our) WS-list are not longer 'alive'. Is there any clean-up procedure defined yet ?... or will the list just keep on growing ;) bye, Chris

FPs in WS
by Joseph Burford 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

Two more FPs in WS. ientryMUNGEDmail.com The domain is used for mailing list management by the ientry network, we have several confirmed legit subscribers to their WebProNews, newsletter. siteproMUNGEDnews.com Once again several confirmed subscribers, mainly web designers or people who have used their submission services. Bayes training fixes any problems at my end, or I could locally whitelist, however they shouldn't be listed in WS :-) Both have valid unsubscribe options. Interesting reading comments about FPs over the last week. I think because of the global ramifications of these lists we need to make sure that spam is definately spam and borderline is excluded from listings. Otherwise the lists just become personal preferences of what we want to see in our mailboxes!! Regards, Joseph
