Here are a couple changes to the SURBL testpoints and TXT
records:

  http://www.surbl.org/news.html

4/20/04: SURBL testpoints "example.com" have been changed to
"surbl-org-permanent-test-point.com" to avoid potential spam
detection on sample URIs. 

So the SURBL testpoints are now:

Name:     test.sc.surbl.org.sc.surbl.org    (with ws for sc, etc.)
Address:  127.0.0.2

Name:     test.surbl.org.sc.surbl.org
Address:  127.0.0.2

Name:     2.0.0.127.sc.surbl.org
Address:  127.0.0.2

Name:     surbl-org-permanent-test-point.com.sc.surbl.org
Address:  127.0.0.2


4/20/04: TXT record for sc.surbl.org is changed from:

  "Message body contains recently and multiply-reported SpamCop
   spamvertised domain."

to:

  "Message body contains SpamCop spamvertised domain."


TXT record for ws.surbl.org is changed from:

  "Message body contains domain in sa-blacklist. See:
   http://www.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/"

to:

  "Blocked, See: http://www.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/".


Please update any test suites, rules, configs and other code
accordingly.  We expect these to be (more) stable.  :-)

(The default/sample SA 2.63 SpamCopURI and SA 3.0 urirhsbl rules
seem to write their own text descriptions based on the A record,
so these changes probably do not affect most SpamAssassin users
of SURBLs.  Other applications may need to make adjustments if
they were using the TXT records.)
