Re: [SURBL-Discuss] Why is multi's rsync file so large?

>Just look inside the file and you will see? Since multi used shared lists >each comment line is added for each host seperately and not like the >seperate lists one comment field for all. OK. That makes sense... but I have a follow-up question. Does rbldnsd take up more memory by including that comment as the equivalent of a "text record" for DNS lookups that might attempt such a lookup against rbldnsd? If so, I'm thinking that, as beneficial as this might be in some scenarios, it sure probably uses a whole lot of extra ram on the server hosting the rbldnsd, correct?

Why is multi's rsync file so large?
by Rob McEwen (PowerView Systems) 10 Jan '07

Why is multi's rsync file so large? Am I doing something wrong with my rsycn? I'm thinking that multi should be, at most, the sum of the parts of the other lists... In fact, it should really probably should be **smaller** than the sum of its parts because of MUCH overlapping data getting consolidated in multi. 01/10/2007 02:03 PM 8,883 ab.surbl.org.rbldnsd 12/23/2006 11:53 AM 101,506 be.surbl.org.rbldnsd 01/10/2007 02:12 PM 5,760,311 jp.surbl.org.rbldnsd 01/10/2007 02:19 PM 75,027,410 multi.surbl.org.rbldnsd 01/10/2007 02:11 PM 6,826,763 ob.surbl.org.rbldnsd 01/10/2007 01:48 PM 330,910 ph.surbl.org.rbldnsd 01/10/2007 02:11 PM 1,435,961 sc.surbl.org.rbldnsd 07/09/2006 10:44 PM 0 sc2.surbl.org.rbldnsd 01/10/2007 01:03 PM 5,905,033 ws.surbl.org.rbldnsd 01/08/2007 03:44 AM 810 xs.surbl.org.rbldnsd 10 File(s) 95,397,587 bytes 0 Dir(s) 105,311,490,048 bytes free ...and some of these lists are no longer used in multi (or never were to begin with). Given the size of the component parts, shouldn't the multi file be somewhere around 10-20 MBs? Rob McEwen PowerView Systems rob(a)PowerViewSystems.com

Re: [SURBL-Announce] SURBL testpoint return values changed for multi.surbl.org

Maybe this should also be a test point for SURBL? -- -- Todd Vierling <tv(a)duh.org> <tv(a)pobox.com> <todd(a)vierling.name>

Dear Jeff Chan, Thank you for your answer. > The SURBL data come from many sources, as described at: Are each sources run as NPO? and Why are each sources selected?

Blacklisting 4th level domains possible? (dsl.connexus.net.au)
by Kelly Jones 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

Can SURBL blacklist 4th level domains? "connexus.net.au" is a perfectly valid domain, but subdomains of "dsl.connexus.net.au" are a bit suspicious. I got a spam referencing 106-147.dsl.connexus.net.au, probably someone running a webserver on their DSL connection. Reading http://www.surbl.org/implementation.html and http://spamcheck.freeapp.net/two-level-tlds makes me think only 2nd and 3rd level domains can be blacklisted. Am I wrong and/or is there any chance this will change? In theory, 3rd level domains like "connexus.net.au" could be added to two-level-tlds (ok, the name would have to change), and the implementation rule would be: 1) If the tail of your domain is listed in two-level-tlds, check one level deeper. Examples: if your domain ends in "guernsey.gg", SURBL-check "whatever.guernsey.gg"; if you domain ends in "connexus.net.au", check "whatever.connexus.net.au" 2) If the domain's not listed in two-level-tlds, check 2 levels deep (eg, "whatever.com").

Zone file snapshot?
by Kelly Jones 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

Does anyone have a recent snapshot of multi.surbl.org's zone file that they could email me? I don't need SURBL's rsync service or rbldnsd, just a recent snapshot.

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.
