 Unlikely, since the web sites mentioned in the emails are rarely the
 same as the From address or routing server. However, the primary web
 sites within those emails might be good candidates for the SURBL
 whitelist.

JC Fair enough.  You don't happen to have a list of those
JC corresponding websites do you?  :-)

 Not readily handy, but if you can find me a few extra hours :-), I can
 scan my corpus and put together a partial list.

 (and no, this holiday weekend doesn't count -- I'll be back at the
 office for a network change at 9:00 tonight, spending 4 hours
 Sat/Sun on an A/P archival program, another 4 on Sunday for G/L and
 physical inventories, and preparing Monday for major changes to our
 credit authorization system)

No rush, but if you can get them sometime that would be great!
:-)

JC A couple questions:

JC 1.  Are these envelope senders or URI domains?

Envelope senders.  Whitelist runs against the From address and the
first trusted Received header recording which external system the
email comes from to reach your system.

JC 2.  Would they be appropriate to whitelist (i.e. exclude from
JC listing) in SURBLs?

The description makes the data look pretty sender-ish:

# It uses the whitelist_from_rcvd directive, which takes two
parameters: a glob-style pattern matching the
# From address used, and the domain from which these items are
emailed. This domain is compared against the 
# Received header which documents passage of the email from
outside your local network to inside your local network, 
# in other words the only external Received header that you can
trust. If that domain name and the from email 
# address matches these two items, then the email is whitelisted.
