Good afternoon, all, The slashdot effect is probably hammering surbl.org right now. Someone posted surbl.org to http://slashdot.org/ The slashdot comments aren't terribly positive - I have no problem with that. I figure I'll keep contributing as long as it continues to be useful. Cheers, - Bill

Hi!
The slashdot effect is probably hammering surbl.org right now. Someone posted surbl.org to http://slashdot.org/ The slashdot comments aren't terribly positive - I have no problem with that. I figure I'll keep contributing as long as it continues to be useful.
Most people writing there did most likely not even look on the project at all. I personally have some good results with the lists on my own servers. Surely, this wont stop spam, thats not the idea anyway, it will help, and surely spammers will come with new things. So this wont be the last idea popping up. Spammers take a next step, we can only follow.
For me its working great, i heard some positive results from other large setups also.
On my setup its helping to boost up the SA scores, it wont block only on SURBL, its only helping making a good view on whats comming in.
Bye, Raymond.

Indeed. Unfortunately my server is *not* melting and judging by most of the slashdot messages, people are not bothering to read how it works before presenting their opinions. As if that's surprising... :-(

All is good to know about!

Glad to know. Don't think my boxes could take poundings like I've seen done on ./
Put up my 2cents to offset all the naysayers....

LOL! Uh oh. That's the smell of my server melting....
Kelsey, any luck getting that second server going? May need to web mirror on it too.
