OK Looks like someone (lol I'm nominated, I guess) needs to put his foot down and set a new name for sa.surbl.org, our RBL version of Bill Stearns' sa-blacklist SA ruleset.
Is this DNSBL different from other RHSBLs? If not why reinvent the wheel? rhsbl.surbl.org sounds good to me, though unless use is to be somehow restricted to just sa there should be a distinction between sender domains (user@example.com) and host domains (mx1.example.com). For that I use sender.rhsbl...com and client.rhsbl...com, saving ip.rbl...com for the RBL.
Currently we have two RBL:
sc.surbl.org - domains from SpamCop URIs sa.surbl.org - domains from Bill's sa-blacklist
Both are domain-type RBLs intended for use as RHSBLs (rbls that contain domains instead of numbers) but for checking message body URIs. This is really a new use for domain-type RBLs which in past had been used against senders. SURBL is about blocking based on web servers mentioned in messages.
We're simply trying to change the name "sa" because some SpamAssassin developers thought it implied support from SpamAssassin. Bill's list was meant to work with SpamAssassin, but is made by him and not that community specifically.
