I have just released SpamCopURI 0.13. This release adds some basic query caching as well as registrar based lookups against the RBL. Instead of querying for both the 2nd and 3rd level domain we are now only querying for the 2nd OR the 3rd based on the TLD. Let me know if you see any issues with this: false positives, misses that should be hits, etc.
Wow the releases are flowing thick and fast now :-)
Guess it shows how surbl is really taking off...
We are now caching the query results on a per test basis so multiple URLs to the same to domain should only get checked once per RBL.
There is also a change that fixes a compile error under Perl 5.005 reported on this list.
Open redirect resolution is still off by default. I would like to hear how this has worked out for those that have enabled it. Do you think its safe enough to enabled it by default?
Well I turned it straight on, and so far its worked fine, I've manually verified my last days worth of spam (sigh, kind of depressing wading through your spam, but oh well :) and all the non-redirect spam url's were picked up correctly as well as the redirected ones...(although, I've only seen yahoo redirect spams so far, none of the others in your list)
I am curious what the third field for open_redirect_list_spamcop_uri is though, perhaps you could document the fields briefly so we have a better idea of how the parsing is handled and how to add custom entries if needed.
(If there was any documentation of this, I must have missed it, and I suppose you don't want to go into TOO much detail for the spammers who may be reading this list ;)
Great work...
