Currently we have two RBL:
sc.surbl.org - domains from SpamCop URIs
sa.surbl.org - domains from Bill's sa-blacklist
Both are domain-type RBLs intended for use as RHSBLs (rbls
that contain domains instead of numbers) but for checking
message body URIs. This is really a new use for
domain-type RBLs which in past had been used against
senders. SURBL is about blocking based on web servers
mentioned in messages.
We're simply trying to change the name "sa" because some
SpamAssassin developers thought it implied support from
SpamAssassin. Bill's list was meant to work with
SpamAssassin, but is made by him and not that community
specifically.
