There is always some latency in getting new data into any RBL, whether it's based on data from traps, reporting, or manual lists. There's also a little internal latency in processing, DNS updates and propagation, etc. We're reducing the lag in SURBLs, and generally it should be not be as long as hours. If you have spam that's not yet detected in SURBLs: 1. Report it to SpamCop. SpamCop spamvertised site data feeds into sc.surbl.org with some munging. I report spam that gets through to me using SpamCop. 2. Report it at the SARE site: http://www.rulesemporium.com/cgi-bin/uribl.cgi 3. If you have a large spam corpus or feed, talk to me or Bill Stearns and we'll see if we can perhaps do more with it. Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.surbl.org/
