I was able to whitelist mail from these people but I'm wondering, more importantly, why they were picked up by the WS_URI_RBL rule. I used the new SURBL checking website and none of the URIs came up positive as far as I could tell. Any ideas?

The Word of the Day for Apr 23 is:
*cloud-cuckoo-land* \klowd-KOO-koo-land\ /noun/
: a realm of fantasy or of whimsical or foolish behavior
http://www.merriam-webster.com/sound/c/cloud_01.wav
*Example sentence: * If the boss really thinks he can up productivity and increase profit after the company is downsized, he is living in cloud-cuckoo-land.
*Did you know? *In Aristophanes' 5th century B.C. comedy /Birds/, Peisthetaerus (a human) convinces the king of the birds and his followers to help him build an ideal city juxtaposed between heaven and earth. They plan to intercept all of the sacrifices rising from the earth to the gods on Olympus, thereby starving the gods into cooperating with them. The newly built city is dubbed "Nephelokokkygia," (from "nephos," meaning "cloud," and "kokkyx," the native European cuckoo). By the late 19th century, English speakers had translated the town's name as "Cloud-Cuckoo-Land" and had begun using it as a general term for any similarly unreal or whimsical place or situation.
*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.

startsampling.com appears to be in Bill's list:
ws.surbl.org.bind: startsampling.com IN A 127.0.0.2
I can whitelist it if we think it's legit.

From what I was able to gather, these messages were coming fine until just
recently. I can't speak to its legitimacy though. I'd just rather not have to whitelist everything but the kitchen sink if I don't have to!

startsampling.com apparently got added to Bill's list. Perhaps it was recently.
You could consider trying different lists or combinations of lists to see what gets the best results for your situation.

Perhaps somewhat ironically, the tech contact for startsampling.com uses a pobox.com email address:
Technical Contact: EtherGlyphics (RM160-ORG) mroeser@POBOX.COM PO BOX 291 MUKILTEO, WA 98275-0291 US 425-353-2825
Usually that's a sign of cluefulness.... so maybe they're not spammers?

I whitelisted startsampling.com. They will come off of ws.surbl.org but remain in sa-blacklist until Bill takes them off, if he so chooses.
