I don't use SA, I use XWall for Exchange and can't set the score of a SURBL... So I only have the choice to mark the subject or just send a DSN. Right now I send a DSN b/c it's useless to forward the spams to the individuals IMHO.

I'm not sure what you mean about "Confirmation emails would contain links to your own domain."

Actually I'm a spam killer ninja (jr that is)

Hi Guys, just wondered if using SURBL will block IT Dept, HR Dept and such newsletters that people get. We get a lot of those in our depts.

Also what are the chances of blocking a confirmation emails for something someone orders, etc And also Airlines

Just feeling a little leery of using SURBL for a risk of false positives. Seems like a lot of newsletters outsource to companies that could look like spammers.

I know it won't block and person to person email but can you help me feel more comfortable about SURBL ?

Greetings Paul, SURBL should block NONE of these. (Well we don't block anything, we flag, but you know what I mean.) We whitelist airlines. Confirmation emails would contina links to your own domain. You are not a spammer, are you? If you aren't, you won't get listed. If it is an order from to your company it is the same.

You can always lower the score of SURBL and try it out if you are worried. But you will be VERY happy with it. 4 out of 5 Dentists approve of SURBL. But we don't count the fifth one, because his parents were cousins ;)
