We can probably significantly reduce the false positives on ob.surbl.org, the SURBL list based on Outblaze's URI blacklist:

at the cost of some possibly minor false negatives.

Should we make that change?

This agrees with our experience using SURBL for a few years. We've seen the occasional fp with the ob listings, and none I am aware of with the rest of SURBL.

What's the change?

Thanks much for the feedback Daryl and Joseph! I think we probably can't reveal the exact listing criteria in case they're useful for the bad guys. I know it's somewhat inappropriate to ask for comments without revealing details. I suppose I'm asking for general responses then. :)
