Re: [SURBL-Discuss] One way to handle the Geocities spam

Yes, that's an interesting suggestion, that IIRC, has been proposed before.

Apologies if it has, I did read the threads on geocities in the archive, but couldn't see this as a possible solution.

It would require rewriting SURBL applications and some work on the data side also. It would also require a way to signal that paths should be checked and at what level in the query (i.e., what subdomain level) the path information is encoded.

All true, but I think the SURBL data itself would be backwards compatible with users who don't implement the geocities code since they'd just check geocities.com against the SURBL and come up ok.
