Nice, although I'd prefer 2, 4, 8, etc. without 1. 127.0.0.1 pops up under the strangest conditions, it's better to leave it alone. I vaguely recall a case when 127.0.0.1 was on the SCBL and parts of the internet stopped to work ;-) Bye, Frank
Thanks Frank, In principle, this shouldn't be an issue since SURBLs should only used on message bodies and not headers*, but perhaps we should change to 2,4,8 to be safe and like other RBLs.
* If 127.0.0.1 appeared on a regular message-header-parsing RBL, then I could see how that could potentially break things since the loopback address can show up as a hop in mail processing. (Numeric RBLs often start at .2 probably for that reason.)
Does anyone have any additional comments on this question?
