Interesting issue

Has SURBL got anything in place to deal with IDN ccTLDs? ie. where the actual extension is an IDN as well?

Anthony Howe noticed that gcc was complaining about ISO 8859-1 accented characters used in the two-level-tlds file. With his kind help, we converted those to equivalent IDN representation. Diffs are:

xn--unjrga-rta.no

3650c3650

xn--vegrshei-c0a.no

As a practical matter this should have little operational impact since those domains are obscure and unlikely to be abused. Nonetheless, we thank Anthony for the correction.
