Thanks, We were having huge problems with mail blocked by 'Obfuscation Techniques'. Mainly with hotmail.com, msn.com and cs.com addresses. I did not report any false positives. Should I do that anyway? It looks like it's back to normal again since today (Jan 18th), 00:30 CET.

Hello Sniffer Folks, There is an unknown problem with the bots surrounding SURBL and SORBS testing. Rather than search for all the needles in all the haystacks we are taking the following action: The bots will be offline until further notice - so all rules will be those that are developed by our human rule-techs for the time being. All SURBL or SORBS related rules that were generated by bots in the past 18 hours will be rolled into our Problematic rule group. This is where rules go when they have been removed due to an FP - the Problematic rule group does not get published - it simply prevents rules from being duplicated. Since we have a huge backlog of false positive reports, it may take a while to get through them all. Please be patient. The database changes will occur in the next half hour. All updates after that time should have these troublesome rules removed. Once I resolve what happened to the bots I will let everyone know.
