None of the lists will blacklist based solely on a user report. Each list is pretty different. Please report false positives to whitelist at our domain. Jeff C.

What does it take to be blacklisted?
by Ben Spencer 25 Jun '08

Ok...the subject is a bit misleading. Let me clarify a little bit... What does it take for a domain to end up on the multi.surbl.org list? Realizing that multi is made up of several different lists, it might not be clear cut as each might have their own rules and in some cases it is more complicated then just end user reports. Background: someone complained that they couldn't email us and it turns out they were blocked because of the multi.surbl.org list. In a response we received from them, they stated: One person has a software program that erroneously flagged <the domain> as spam. What I am trying to confirm is that none of the multi.surbl.org lists actually will block on a single incident report. Reading over the surbl.org site (haven't dig into the rules for each list just yet), the lists seem to sway towards safer (no listing) then sorry end of things.

are the lists working
by Peter Garcia 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

Hello I have joined this discussion forum today to ask if there is anything wrong with the multi.surbl.org list? We had been using this list successfully for almost 3 years now. Beginning about 3/15/08, we are no longer getting the same number of hits as we had before. Before 3/15 we routinely saw 6000 - 8000 SuRBL hits per day. Between 3/15 and today we were seeing less then 500 hits per day. This morning I switched our GWAVA to use black.uribl.com and am now seeing thousands of SuRBL hits. For test purposes I switched back to the multi.surbl.org but in 5 minutes didn't have any hits. Does anyone else have this problem? Thank you for any information. Peter Garcia

familiar with xml?
by kieran mullen 13 Feb '08

SURBL was great when it was running. It made me wonder if I should even run any other RBL's at all? This is off topic already but what is generally thought to have less overhead? It would seem to be that RBLs would but their effectiveness have really dropped with the use of massive botnets. Anyhow regarding my topic... something has changed in the usage of the lists and so my false positives has jumped. This is doug swallows plugin for Icewarp MerakMail. (the author has long since dropped support for this project) http://clip.drlinky.com/149606 I have altered the scope to not include the header (from the surblg list I was told to) and also to not scan the ip addresses but to no avail. I was getting false positives for test invites I was sending myself from linked in. I believe it is the way counting is performed that is messing things up a bit. From the looks of it a count of 1 is rejected, but 1 is added to everything anyway surbl_multi_count += 1 Appreciate any information Thank you KieranMullen

Verizon DNS corruption
by Jeff Chan 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Judging by recent spamassassin-users mailing list messages, Verizon is hijacking DNS responses that seem to be invalid and replacing them with their own responses (in oder to drive traffic to their search sites). Naturally this breaks SURBL lookups. If you are using Verizon's nameservers and are getting false positives, you may want to check into this. Here's one reference: http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=1227 Jeff C.

RFC: Adding malwaredomains.com data to phishing list?
by Jeff Chan 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Does anyone have any comments on adding the malware domains at: http://www.malwaredomains.com/ to the SURBL phising list, with significant filtering to exclude possible false positives? The actual list would be the third field of: http://www.malwaredomains.com/files/domains.txt The data includes malware and phishing sites. Cheers, Jeff C.
