one thing though -- any chance you could make the returned msg a little more machine-readable? ie. instead of
Blocked, areyoureallysatisfied.biz on sc, ws lists, See: http://www.surbl.org/lists.html
something like:
Blocked, areyoureallysatisfied.biz, on lists [sc][ws], See: http://www.surbl.org/lists.html
That way, we could use "[sc]" as a regexp to match that. Otherwise, it's not quite as easy to pick out from the "human-readable" part of the string, and possibly even might misfire -- for example if in future someone set up an "on" blocklist. ;)
Thanks for the feedback!. I've made the change:
citi-protection.info 600 IN A 127.0.0.14 600 IN TXT "Blocked, citi-protection.info on lists [sc][ws][ph], See: http://www.surbl.org/lists.html"
citibank-validate.info 21600 IN A 127.0.0.12 21600 IN TXT "Blocked, citibank-validate.info on lists [ws][ph], See: http://www.surbl.org/lists.html"
citicorp-verification.com 21600 IN A 127.0.0.12 21600 IN TXT "Blocked, citicorp-verification.com on lists [ws][ph], See: http://www.surbl.org/lists.html"
However If possible I may prefer that folks process on the A record instead of the TXT record. To me the A record is the more machine-relevant part. Others, including the early proponents of using TXT for signalling to machines, may disagree.
Also this makes the human-readable part somewhat less pretty IMNSHO. :-)
