Hi Ryan, thanks for the submissions.
You're welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
I'm about to give them a quick going thru. The best place to ask these questions is right on the SURBL list discuss@lists.surbl.org
I'm cc'ing this to the list. The more eyes on it the better. Redirects are handled differently. Post them to discussion list and they get added to a redirect list.
OK.
The rule of thumb is like cooking: "When in doubt, throw it out."
:-) Agreed 100%. This first run was mostly a test drive, so I decided to leave the baby in with the bathwater to get a better feel for the preferred threshold.
We would much rather not list a spammer, then list a shammer. Unless we decide together that the shammer is 95% spam with 1 legit customer. Then we might list them and inform the legit customer.
Yes. These are probably the hardest (or at least most time consuming) to identify. Especially for those of us who aren't fluent in Taiwanese. :-) With the program that I wrote, finding the URIs and their relevance to the spam is easy. Figuring out what *else* the sites might be used for, however, is not trivial.
Then again, it's probably much quicker and nearly as effective to just catch the 95% of really obnoxious ones. :-)
Sometimes we don't all agree. Like political spam. Thats were we have some real fun ;)
Some of the politicians in Canada are just as much fun. :-)
