I was surfing for something else while waiting for two machines to reboot. Found this...

I like people who like us :)
Also a side note:
I know sometimes updates over the weekend run a little slower, I am still working on some ideas to speed that up on my end. But to try to counter act this a little, ANY, and I mean ANY and ALL domains submitted over the weekend, go thru a MUCH more rigourus research then the weekday.
I figure if spammers are trying to take advantage of people being away for the weekend, then I'm going to look at those domains MUCH more closely. For instance, for the domains reported this weekend that fell into my bucket, I added about 35 times the amount from researching them all! Thats the price they pay for trying to be sneaky! ;)

Hi Daryl, Thanks for your observations about SURBLs. When we first started, we tried to get the data out in our own way, but it turned out that the regular RBL way of doing things with DNS zone files was a lot more scalable. So we went with that. (Using RBLs is the method that you describe above.) Typically SURBLs are used on ISP mail servers with programs like SpamAssassin, exim, sendmail, etc. Theres lots more info on our website http://www.surbl.org/ for anyone interested in learning more about SURBLs or finding some applications that use them.
Cheers,
Jeff Chan
