We've made a list of the top SURBL DNS queries into my name server:
http://www.surbl.org/dns-queries.counts.txt
and a version with only whitelist hits:
http://www.surbl.org/dns-queries.whitelist.counts.txt
The sample size is somewhat small at 32k queries over the last 48 trailing hours, but it's still somewhat interesting. Specifically 2000 queries are sampled every 3 hours. (Please ignore some of the junk at the end of the unwhitelisted counts. That's stuff left over from DNS packets which I haven't cleaned out yet.)
I'm slightly surprised how high in the total rankings some spam domains are. That represents a huge amount of spam sent and blocked. :-)
Would it be possible to hard code a "SKIP" for certain URLs?
175 yahoo.com 157 w3.org 87 msn.com 77 flowgo.com
Why have the code even bother to check those? Sort of like a permanent hard coded Whitelist. (Bah, Skiplist! I have to stop calling it a whitelist!) This would save traffic.
Just a thought.
