Hi!
Hi, please remove uk. geocities .com from all white lists and/or add it manually to local URIBLs, it's a black hat.
No it's not. It belongs to Yahoo. Yahoo is currently trying to properly organize their handling of hosting abuse.
Bye, FrankWhat does the article say please?
Its the typical spam we are seeing for months now. I have posted some rules to block them, use those. We wont list geocities in SURBL. It DOES have legitimate uses.
To save you looking for the rules... :
# # Abusive public hosting #
uri PROLO_PUBWEB_UKGEO_CHECK1 /^http://.*uk.geocities.com// score PROLO_PUBWEB_UKGEO_CHECK1 15.0 describe PROLO_PUBWEB_UKGEO_CHECK1 PROLO_PUBWEB_UKGEO_CHECK1, Body
uri PROLO_PUBWEB_ITGEO_CHECK1 /^http://.*it.geocities.com// score PROLO_PUBWEB_ITGEO_CHECK1 15.0 describe PROLO_PUBWEB_ITGEO_CHECK1 PROLO_PUBWEB_ITGEO_CHECK1, Body
uri PROLO_PUBWEB_WWWGEO_CHECK1 /^http://.*www.geocities.com// score PROLO_PUBWEB_WWWGEO_CHECK1 15.0 describe PROLO_PUBWEB_WWWGEO_CHECK1 PROLO_PUBWEB_WWWGEO_CHECK1, Body
There are some others abused also (de geocities com) so you might want to extend it.
While we are at it some more:
uri PROLO_HOSTING_PROHOSTING_CHK1 /^http://.*prohosting.com// score PROLO_HOSTING_PROHOSTING_CHK1 15.0 describe PROLO_HOSTING_PROHOSTING_CHK1 PROLO_HOSTING_PROHOSTING_CHK1, Body
uri PROLO_HOSTING_XTHOST_CHK1 /^http://.*xthost.info// score PROLO_HOSTING_XTHOST_CHK1 15.0 describe PROLO_HOSTING_XTHOST_CHK1 PROLO_HOSTING_XTHOST_CHK1, Body
uri PROLO_HOSTING_NET4FREE_CHK1 /^http://.*net4free.org// score PROLO_HOSTING_NET4FREE_CHK1 15.0 describe PROLO_HOSTING_NET4FREE_CHK1 PROLO_HOSTING_NET4FREE_CHK1, Body
We have seen abuse from those also, use at own risk.
Bye, Raymond.
