RE: OfficeTeam.com FP???

RE: OfficeTeam.com FP??? A hand-typed legitimate mail sent to my client which my client is expecting is having problems because this message contains the domain name "officeTeam.com" and OfficeTeam.com is currently listed by SURBL. Should this be listed? If so, what are the "offenses" so can I understand how/why is is listed in SURBL? Thanks, Rob McEwen

SURBL Server mostly back
by Jeff Chan 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

It too longer than it should, but there are now filters in place against the syn flood my server got on port 80 in addition to icmp attacks probably against DNS. They came from many different source addresses and were directed to my server only, so it was definitely a mildy competent DDOS attack. Peak traffic was about 20 Megabits, probably limited by the available network bandwidth. None of this significantly affected SURBL performance, and things should be operating normally again now. We will be taking steps to further reduce the effects of attacks like this. Until the SYN packets stop, the web site will remain down. Would anyone like to help mirror the largely static and relatively tiny SURBL web site? Jeff C. -- "If it appears in hams, then don't list it."

That's because 3.0.0 came out before you could add a separate rule for JP, and we wanted to get the benefit of JP into 3.0.0. Is there a separate rule for JP now? If not would you please add one?

SURBL DOS
by Chris Santerre 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

I just got a call from Jeff. www.surbl.org is under what appears to be a DDOS attack :) Wheeeeeee!!! Which means.......not much. It has no effect on the SURBL lists. All it does it slowdown whitelist requests, and make it difficult for people to read about SURBL :) And Jeff won't be able to reply to people right away. I'm sure Jeff will post when the storm is over. He already had a backup site half done, so this will be fixed soon. A big thanks to all the public mirrors of SURBL! You are what keeps this running!!

Hmm, at least there is an upgrade path for doing it the preferred way with DNS through your newer plug in for Declude. > I just wanted to make sure that when a date was set that I posted that info > out to the Declude forum to let those users know. Can you let them know we will remove it at the end of January and they should use the newer plug in instead? Cheers, Jeff C. -- "If it appears in hams, then don't list it."
