Why are subdomains not blacklisted?
by Kelly Jones 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

I received two separate spams advertising "uztiuqhcsgdnhsx.kennevur.com" and "678.com.plaweresoft.com" as the domains. multi.surbl.org lists the domains as blacklisted: > host kennevur.com.multi.surbl.org kennevur.com.multi.surbl.org has address 127.0.0.86 > host plaweresoft.com.multi.surbl.org plaweresoft.com.multi.surbl.org has address 127.0.0.118 but not the subdomains: > host uztiuqhcsgdnhsx.kennevur.com.multi.surbl.org Host uztiuqhcsgdnhsx.kennevur.com.multi.surbl.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) > host 678.com.plaweresoft.com.multi.surbl.org Host 678.com.plaweresoft.com.multi.surbl.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) Why? Wouldn't it be easy/sensible to wildcard the blacklist to include these?

Kelly, There is a long (2-3 paragraph) answer for the general question "Why are subdomains not blacklisted?", but the short answer is that it is the responsibility of the program or spam filter making use of SURBL to remove the extra levels and check "kennevur.com" against SURBL instead of "uztiuqhcsgdnhsx.kennevur.com" In this situation, a good filter will not bother checking the longer version but would know to extract just the domain name for checking.

Guestbook spam
by Veterans Internet Service 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

I would like to use surbl to scan the fields of our guestbook service and then deny entries based on the results. I am currently using perl and MySQL for the service and was wondering if there are any perl modules that can be used for my purposes. Chris

hi folks, i setup a test service realizing the trackback Protocol as defined by: http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/docs/trackback_spec This service is currently under development, and free, but in near future it will be a service for registered users only. We have some customers working already with this "trackback-Proxy" each getting rid of 400+ blogspams leaving some 2 or 3 comments for a real review. They are happy.... simply post or get data to following url: http://support.clean-mx.de/clean-mx/trackback.php and supply data either in Parameters or in Post format. like: http://support.clean-mx.de//clean-mx/trackback.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fverizon… you will get a xml response like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <response> <error>1</error> <message>Blog-entry denied(blackrecipient): E-mail->tommy(a)hotmail.com see http://www.clean-mx.de/blogspam Query: 1.3660 Seconds</message> <message> id-> </message> <message> title-> verizon%20wireless%20cellphones </message> <message> author-> verizon%20wireless%20cellphones </message> <message> e-mail-> tommy%40hotmail.com </message> <message> blog_name->verizon%20wireless%20cellphones </message> <message> url-> http%3A%2F%2Fverizon-wireless-cellphones.unfbgcu.com </message> <message> excerpt-> verizon%20wireless%20cellphones </message> </response> Yours Gerhard

www.citylimits.org is in the ws list. It is a nonprofit organization, and they tell me people here at Columbia have asked why they have not got their mail. What was this listing based on? A quick web and newsgroup search got me nothing about this domain and spam. Joseph Brennan Columbia University Information Technology

FP in PH and AB SURBL - www.4emi.com
by Russ Ringer 18 Oct '06

18 Oct '06

www.4emi.com is coming up as listed in PH and AB SURBL. EMI Solutions is a legitimate supplier we use in manufacturing aircraft electronics and should not be listed in either PH or AB. Funny thing is I can't find the listing on abusebutler or castlecops. This server is running SpamAssassin version 3.0.3
