As long as spam will be reported through spamcop, there is a basis for additions to surbl. If that will no longer be the case, the usefulness of the surbl approach itself will determine its survival, with the help of alternative data collection mechanisms.
I assume everyone is aware that we currently have three SURBL lists:
1. sc.surbl.org - domains from SpamCop URI reports 2. ws.surbl.org - domains from Bill Stearns' sa-blacklist 3. be.surbl.org - domains from BigEvil and MidEvil by Chris and Paul mainly.
So we have some diversity of source data currently. I expect the SpamCop URI reports to keep flowing, and I'm thinking about/working on the next version of the sc data engine which should offer significantly improved performance.
