Excellent thank you. I wasn't sure if the actual sites they were linking were involved.

Hi!
So I saw the rule, but will any of the links in most of the messages be added to SURBL? It's my understanding this is virus related coming sometimes from internal hosts infected with a new class of virus that will turn the infected PC into a spam host. We do filter internal mail for
spam
also so I thought I would check if the links in these messages will eventually make it to SURBL.
No, since the sites itself didnt do the spamrums, but were just abused also. And no, thats not SURBL material...

Ruleset to stop the Sober crap thats been going around like crazy currently. The political spams written in german language...
Hopefully it will help some people to stop this crap.
So get the ruleset if you wanna filter those.
Bye, Raymond. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.surbl.org http://lists.surbl.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Several of the sites mentioned in the German spams are legitimate news sites. Spiegel.de is like American Time Magazine. Stern.de is like Newsweek. There are also some local newspapers mentioned. We're not going to blacklist those just because they get mentioned in spams, any more than we would blacklist Time Magazine or the New York Times.
On the other hand if any of the sites mentioned are actually owned by the spam gangs or spammers, we'll happily and immediately list them. But so far it seems they're not, not even some of the right wing extremist sites mentioned.
If anyone has any research showing any of these domains are owned by spam gangs, then please post or send it privately and we'll blacklist.
