Hi,

Which particular SURBL do you think it's listed in ?

I think you're confusing SURBLs (which list domain names) with the
SpamAssassin facility to resolve URLs to IP addresses and look up the
regular DNSBLs.

The IP address 127.0.0.2 is listed in many regular DNSBLs, including the
Spamhaus SBL, so, if you're using SA3 with the URIDNSBL plugin and factory
rulesets then "URIBL_SBL" with trigger.

Note that this has nothing to do with SURBLs,

Of course, if this causes you problems, you can simply whitelist it with:

  uridnsbl_skip_domain 127.0.0.2

Hope that helps.

Chris
