ds.surbl.org was an experimental list which is no longer getting any hits. We were serving it on a few name servers as a separate test list. I'd like to shut it down. Does anyone have any comments about doing that?
If in future the folks behind the data are able to make a slice of it that only has pure spammers, then perhaps we may use it, but they don't appear to be moving in that direction currently.

Hi Jeff,
ds.surbl.org was an experimental list which is no longer getting any hits. We were serving it on a few name servers as a separate test list. I'd like to shut it down. Does anyone have any comments about doing that?
No, since its not updated anyway, its ok, if we decide to start testing we could always reenter the zonefiles. Please schedule an announcement if there are no further objections, then i'll clean out the rsync also.
Bye, Raymond.

Since the only place we announced ds was here on the discussion list I'll assume that announcing it here will be enough.
So let's propose that we get rid of ds after Thursday 9/30/04.
Since I'm not seeing any DNS hits on it I assume it should be ok.
Likewise, I think the only places we mentioned pj.surbl.org and jp.surbl.org as test lists was here. Let's ask anyone using those in the public DNS to change over to multi.surbl.org bitmask 64 instead and get rid of them on 9/30 also.
AFIAK only you and Theo were using the public DNS to test PJ/JP. I'll take a look at where the current queries are coming from and contact any off list who aren't you or Theo. ;-)
Anyone who wants to keep using them as separate lists could set them up as rsynced rbldnsd or BIND local mirrors, though I don't see too much reason to do that since JP is in multi now. It's better for everyone to use multi.
BTW, I just realized JP sounds like Japan, which may be trivially confusing. ;-) It's also perhaps a little ironic since Joe lives in Japan....

Just a reminder that we will be stopping public DNS service of ds.surbl.org, pj.surbl.org, jp.surbl.org after 9/30. These were experimental test lists while we were checking these out as new lists. Please use jp in multi instead.
Also, please let us know how JP and the MailPolice fraud list are working for you.
Thanks,

OK We have stopped public DNS service of ds.surbl.org, pj.surbl.org, jp.surbl.org. In addition we have removed the zone files for pj and ds. jp is part of multi.surbl.org as described at:

Does anyone know if the DS data is actively maintained anywhere so that it can still use it after removed from SURBL?
Thanks,
