Hi All,
Does anyone know if there is an open-source client written in c to perform URL searches in message bodies, and then lookups against a SURBL ?
(This is not for use with SA)
Cheers,
Andrew

I can't think of any open source ones off hand, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. Have you taken a look at some of the programs mentioned on our links page:
http://www.surbl.org/links.html
It's possible some are written in C.
That said, the task of extracting URI domains from email messages is non-trivial particularly from spams, which often have obfuscation methods that must be undone. Something like the SpamAssassin code can be a good starting point, though it has the advantage of a regular expression language, mail method decoding tools, etc.

Hi...
Thanks for the reply. I couldn't see any in that list (I checked before) :(
My MTA can handle the mime decoding (or I could include it as a function in the program), and there is regex.h which will help me locate the URLs :) - I will see how I go (some spare time coming up)... If the code is presentable, I will make sure I share with the rest of the world.
Cheers, Andrew.

Errrrrr. Jeff !
You forgot me.
j-chkmail is written in C, and is probably the oldest one supporting SURBL (since April).
j-chkmail doesn't appear on the link list... 8-)

RE: C version of SURBL client?
A while back, I was looking for a command line based Bayesian filter which was compatible with windows and had good performance.
If found the following:
http://www.fourmilab.ch/annoyance-filter/
This program will work on Unix and Windows, is written in C, and does things like decodes base-64 stuff, etc. I don't know the licensing info. However, if the licensing is right, it would be a great place to start for building a C version of SURBL because I think they publish the full source code for anyone to use. Theoretically, someone could start with this source code and build this.

Maybe. If you sell "mail filtering", the answer is no. If you sell "message handling" and you don't charge your customers for mail filtering, the answer is yes.
I created j-chkmail for our own needs and to help people fighting spam ***for free***. j-chkmail users shall have the same goal. That's the idea behind j-chkmail license.
There are some internet providers using j-chkmail, but they don't charge their customers for that, and they agree with that.

Thanks Joe; I've added it. :-)
