Whitelisted: clickbank.net
by Jeff Chan 08 Aug '04

08 Aug '04

I've whitelisted clickbank.net . They were on BE and WS before. This appears to be a site with legitimate uses which occasionally gets abused. They seem to shut down abusers. Jeff C.

PH list question
by Bill Landry 08 Aug '04

08 Aug '04

I have been running multi test since the release of SpamCopURI-0.20, however, in spite of the fact that I have seen several phishing e-mail from US Bank and E-Bay, and others, I have never gotten a hit on ph.surbl.org. Here are my test entries: ========== uri SC_URI_RBL eval:check_spamcop_uri_rbl('multi.surbl.org','127.0.0.0/2') describe SC_URI_RBL URI's domain appears in SC database at sc.surbl.org tflags SC_URI_RBL net score SC_URI_RBL 17.0 uri WS_URI_RBL eval:check_spamcop_uri_rbl('multi.surbl.org','127.0.0.0/4') describe WS_URI_RBL URI's domain appears in WS database at ws.surbl.org tflags WS_URI_RBL net score WS_URI_RBL 17.0 uri PH_URI_RBL eval:check_spamcop_uri_rbl('multi.surbl.org','127.0.0.0/8') describe PH_URI_RBL URI's domain appears in PH database at ph.surbl.org tflags PH_URI_RBL net score PH_URI_RBL 27.0 uri OB_URI_RBL eval:check_spamcop_uri_rbl('multi.surbl.org','127.0.0.0/16') describe OB_URI_RBL URI's domain appears in OB database at ob.surbl.org tflags OB_URI_RBL net score OB_URI_RBL 17.0 uri AB_URI_RBL eval:check_spamcop_uri_rbl('multi.surbl.org','127.0.0.0/32') describe AB_URI_RBL URI's domain appears in AB database at ab.surbl.org tflags AB_URI_RBL net score AB_URI_RBL 17.0 uri DS_URI_RBL eval:check_spamcop_uri_rbl('ds.surbl.org','127.0.0.2') describe DS_URI_RBL URI's domain appears in DS database at ds.surbl.org tflags DS_URI_RBL net score DS_URI_RBL 12.0 ========== I get lots of hits on all of the other test. Can someone post a munged URI that should hit on the PH list so I can test with it. Thanks, Bill

statcounter.com FP on WS.
by Patrik Nilsson 07 Aug '04

07 Aug '04

statcounter.com is listed on WS. It's a service used for hit tracking, primarily for web stats. It also shows up in emails, sometimes in spam from main-sleaze spammers. Having it listed means quite a lot of collateral damage though. Just do a search for statcounter.com on Google Groups and check the recent ratio of legit postings vs. NANAS reports actually involving potential abuse from statcounter.com: <http://groups.google.com/groups?q=statcounter.com&scoring=d> Patrik

bigfishgames.com FP on WS.
by Patrik Nilsson 07 Aug '04

07 Aug '04

bigfishgames.com is listed on WS. Apart from consistent reports from one single individual, there are very few NANAS reports, especially considering that they send out a news letter with a Senderbase monthly magnitude of 5.4. Their outgoing mail server, 63.251.10.170, is not listed on any major RBL. Patrik

Redirection service - rg3.net, listed in WS.
by Patrik Nilsson 07 Aug '04

07 Aug '04

Hi, rg3.net is listed in WS. It is a redirection service, redirecting third level domains like polimidia.rg3.net. They might have spammy third level domains, but they do have non-spammy ones as well. Not sure whitelisting the second level domains is the best way to handle these kind of redirection services though. If they are whitelisted, we can't blacklist third levels below those domains that are spammy, right? Wouldn't it be better if we could treat these kind of third level redirectors similarly to the way we treat subdelegated country domains - checking the third level domain rather than the second? Extending what is done in RegistrarBoundaries.pm for URIDNSBL would probably be easier than doing something similar in SpamCopURI though. Patrik

I have fairly the same setup on other boxes and don't have the problem. Kindest regards, Guy

The site has potential for spam since it allows anyone to send their messages to anyone else, but it also probably has some legitimate uses so it probably should be whitelisted. I am writing to them about it. Looks like it was on WS. They do not look like a big time spammer, so the WS data folks should check how it got on.

rsync access
by Andy Dills 07 Aug '04

07 Aug '04

Let me start by thanking everybody for their efforts with surbl...we just recently added it in to our filtering, and it's improved spamassassin dramatically. I'm a bit skeptical of the long term value, because I already see an increase of one-run-only domains. Just another $10 they have to pay to send out their spam. But regardless, it's kicking some ass right now, and every tool helps. We get a good bit of mail though (2-3mm), and would like rsync access so we can serve the zones ourselves. I filled out a request, but no luck. Somebody on vacation or something? :) So, if somebody who can enable that could contact me offlist, it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Andy --- Andy Dills Xecunet, Inc. www.xecu.net 301-682-9972 ---

OK thanks, operationnal. Have a great day! -----Original Message----- From: discuss-bounces(a)lists.surbl.org [mailto:discuss-bounces@lists.surbl.org] On Behalf Of Eric Kolve Sent: Friday, August 06, 2004 11:50 To: SURBL Discussion list Subject: Re: [SURBL-Discuss] Errors with spamassassin --lint That should work.
