I am pleased to announce that Eric Kolve has added SURBL support to his SpamAssassin 2.63 plugin called SpamCopURI:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/spamcopuri/ In order to use the new RBL method, please comment out the the previous tests SPAMCOP_URI and SPAMCOP_URI_HOST and increase the score for the new test up to something like 2.5: score SPAMCOP_URI_RBL 2.5 in the spamcop_uri.cf file. Values higher than 2.5 may be appropriate because the test is a highly accurate indicator of spam, for some of the reasons mentioned at the SURBL site: http://www.surbl.org/ Note that unlike URIDNSBL, we are comparing *domains* found in message bodies to *domains* in SURBL (aka a name or RHSBL), rather than resolving the names into IP addresses (representing the spam web site's hosting server) and comparing those addresses to a number-based RBL. We consider this a direct approach to the problem of URIs advertised in spam, and we're confident that the URI data we are getting from SpamCop and scoring based on report counts are very useful and relevant. More information about the data SURBL is built on can be found at: http://spamcheck.freeapp.net/ Would someone with access to large spam and ham corpi please give SpamCopURI a try against their recent data, as Daniel Quinlan did with URIDNSBL + SURBL, and kindly let us know what kind of results they obtain? Currently four trailing days of SpamCop URI reports are represented in SURBL. Thanks! Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sc.surbl.org/
