right people. Generic subject lines tend to get overlooked by folks with
specific interests, since many just skim the subject lines.

I assume you mean lists.surbl.org.
I had been using Spamassassin 3.1.5 under RHEL 3. Works great, until
Jan 1, 2008. I started getting false positives from surbl. These are
emails I have received for years, such as newsletter.varbusiness.com
and newsletter.crn.com.
It would help if you can indicate which domains in these emails are
triggering it. Try running one through spamassassin and look at the body
report. The surbl match in the body report should tell you what domain
is matching. You might have to munge it to post, but something like
example*MUNGED*.com is a typical way of being able to post it here
without trouble.
It would also be helpful if you indicated which surbl list is a
problem.. WS? OB? SC? JP? AB? PH?
If I remove file /usr/share/spamassassin/25_uribl.cf and restart
spamd, the false positives stop, but more real spam gets through. I
upgraded all the perl utilities SA needs and I am now running SA
3.2.4, but the problem is still there.
That's unsurprising..
I can't find anything on the SA or surbl web sites that address this
problem. Anyone have any ideas?
I know some of the surbl.org folks crawl this list, that's why I fixed
your subject line to indicate it was surbl.org related. Hopefully one
of them will jump in.
Thanks in advance,
David
