Re: [RulesEmporium] Rbldns and wildcards
by Jeff Chan 24 Apr '04

24 Apr '04

Indeed, I just realized an embarrassing screw-up on my part. There are two different programs with similar names and slightly different properties,including zone file differences: rbldns rbldnsd We are using rbldnsd zone files. I need to update the web site to reflect this and post an announcement.

Eric, you may want to share your redirection resolution strategies with the 3.0 developers. I haven't heard Justin getting beyond patterns yet. ;-) Jeff C.

I use sa-stats.pl It isn't like what I'm talking about. Working with the SA devs to keep an outputed DB of score hits. Not logging each hit.

probable impact of cid:.* urls in uri_to_domain
by Yusuf Goolamabbas 23 Apr '04

23 Apr '04

Hi, Currently URIDNSBL.pm uses SA's get_uri_list to get a list of URI's from a message, the current regex seems to also get uri's of the form cid:random_characters in the list cid:.* seems to refer to content-ids,attachments in the same message when these uris are run through uri_to_domain, they return back the same result cid:.* My feeling is that a message can contain some artificial cid:.* url's which may skew the set of random domains used for SURBL lookup's I am not sure if cid:.* url's should be returned from get_uri_list() or they should be stripped correctly in uri_to_domain. Quite a few of the values after cid: seem to refer to host names/domain names Regards, Yusuf

I was able to whitelist mail from these people but I'm wondering, more importantly, why they were picked up by the WS_URI_RBL rule. I used the new SURBL checking website and none of the URIs came up positive as far as I could tell.

The newly built city is dubbed "Nephelokokkygia," (from "nephos," meaning "cloud," and "kokkyx," the native European cuckoo).
