The program is available > from http://surblhost.sourceforge.net (source only)." I'm sending a little patch attached (configure.ac). It's needed to correct three small things : - under solaris, this program shall also be linked against libnsl and libsocket - you've hardcoded CFLAGS and LDFLAGS (-Wall) … [View More]

Spam in progress bit ...
by Eric Montréal 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

Just an idea, I don't know if this have ever been discussed. In the course of operating the surbl lists the realtime amount of requests for each listed domain (and each not listed domain as well) and the IP of servers using surbl to do the tests is known. I don't have the data, but I suppose a spam run in progress should be easy to identify by the high number of requests for the spamvertized domain in a short period of time coming from a large number of geographically diverse mail … [View More]

TLD "fakeouts" - in, at, it, is, to, so
by Rob McEwen (PowerView Systems) 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

I've noticed more and more that whenever a fully qualified domain ends in a two letter combo that is actually an english word, this create a problem because often people will start a new sentence with one of these short words and forget to put a space after the last period and before the new "sentence.Like" this! (is that example, if "like" were a TLD, then "sentence.Like" might get picked up by a spam filter for SURBL checking. The problem here is that MANY domains, for example, that end in ".… [View More]

dns2.registerly.com listed on Spamhaus
by Joe Wein 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

I noticed today that the IP range for one of the default name servers for registerfly domains is now listed on SBL http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/sbl.lasso?query=SBL45242 This includes dns2.registerfly.com but not dns1.registerfly.com. If any of you use SBL listings of name servers for making decisions whether to blacklist suspect domains, be careful not to cause false positives! In any case I hope registerfly will get the message soon and kick off the spammers who've been registering masses of … [View More]
