Regarding rejection, I realize I just popped up on this list without intro. Columbia University's mail system refuses about 1 million messages a day based on Spamhaus, NJABL, DNSBL, high Spamassassin score, and rules written in Mimedefang. SURBL looks like a good addition to our arsenal.

Sounds reasonable. :-)

Logging in test yesterday and overnight suggests that SURBL will catch 50,000 messages a day that are not already caught before Spamassassin (which we run last). That's very worthwhile. Great!

Sounds like it should help.

BTW an excellent way for everyone to help the SURBL project is to send us actual FPs at our "whitelist at" address. It's ok to mention a domain you don't own, if we know you. Full info is not needed, but some general context such as opt-in status, reasons the domain is legitimate, etc., are very helpful and should be included if possible. Hopefully the FPs will be few and far between.
