I read on an earlier post something about a newer SURBL version which more quickly matches a new domain submission with that particular spammer's past data so as to lower the threshhold (of # of reports) it takes for a known spammer hiding behind a new domain name to get blacklisted.
Does anyone have an estimate about when this new system will be put into production.
Hehe, it's on my list of things to do, along with quite a few others..... Note that the new data engine refers only to the handling of the SC data.
The other SURBL lists will probably continue to operate the way they have before, which is to say quite well IMO. Outblaze in particular seems to get domains quickly and have a relatively low FP rate. I suspect it's because they probably have many spamtraps and gain some statistical advantages from that, along with some apparently well thought out designs for dealing with the data they get from the traps.
