[...] 17 hits in the last 20 minutes! And my site is relatively low volume (~4000 messages/day). Congratulations on what appears to be an effective spam countermeasure. I've given it a score of 3 for now. If it's ok with you, I'd like to mention it on the MailScanner mailing list (how I run spamassassin, http://mailscanner.info). There are some people who run large servers there, can your nameservers handle more load?

Fr�e Quotes 2/4/2004 23:33 Passion should last forever __ Thanks very much for your feedback Daniel! We'd be honored if you'd mention SURBL and SpamCopURI on your mailing list and hope other people will give it a try also. As Kelsey mentions above, Sonic is providing some secondary DNS for SURBL, and if things take off we may want to recruit some more secondary name servers. In addition to seeking more volunteer name server secondaries, we could probably also use some coding help on a SA 3.0 plugin to use SURBL. If someone wants to try that or even an MTA update to use it, that would be great too. I can be reached at: jeffc at surbl dot org Also if anyone spots any false positives, please contact us at: whitelist at surbl dot org so we can update our whitelists. -- Jeff Chan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.surbl.org/
