If I elect to stay with SA 2.63, then I should download and install spamcopuri v0.18??
Yes, SpamCopURI is a program that can be used with all SURBLs in SA 2.63.
If I choose to go with SA 3.x, I first need to upgrade to teh new SA, and then use uridnsbl or uribl or urirhsbl or ...
uridnsbl is the SA 3 program that checks message body URIs against numeric RBLs, i.e. by resolving the URI domain names into IP addresses then checking those IP addresses against the RBL.
urirhsbl is the SA 3 program that checks message body URIs against SURBLs, i.e., it compares (mostly) domain names found in message bodies against (mostly) domain names in SURBLs.
In fact the sample configurations shipped with uribl (which is the pm that contains both uridnsbl and urirhsbl) has those programs using sbl.spamhaus.org and SURBLs respectively:
http://www.spamassassin.org/full/3.0.x/dist/rules/25_uribl.cf
uridnsbl URIBL_SBL sbl.spamhaus.org. TXT header URIBL_SBL eval:check_uridnsbl('URIBL_SBL') describe URIBL_SBL Contains a URL listed in the SBL blocklist tflags URIBL_SBL net
urirhsbl URIBL_SC_SURBL sc.surbl.org. A header URIBL_SC_SURBL eval:check_uridnsbl('URIBL_SC_SURBL') describe URIBL_SC_SURBL Contains a URL listed in the SC SURBL blocklist tflags URIBL_SC_SURBL net
I'm adding the above to the SURBL FAQ. If anyone spots any errors with the above, please let me know.
Then of course there is the ws.surbl and the be.surbl and all of the talk about setting up dns, etc.
You only need to set up a local mirror to cache the RBL zone files if you have a high volume mail system, say more than 100k inbound messages per day. For less volume it's ok to use the public nameservers.
At present [sc] and [ws] would be the lists to use. [be] is being deprecated in favor of [ws].
