 Topic: black.uribl.com and the SURBL filterPosted: 27 March 2013 at 2:39pm |

Recently we noticed that a number of e-mails are being rejected with a message looking something like this:
03/27/13 11:28:50:746 -- (4900) SURBL: w3.org - 521 A URL in the email is Blacklisted by SURBL: black.uribl.com. Queries from 8.0.10.9 are restricted due to high volume. See http://uribl.com/about.shtml#abuse. Emails blocked due to this response are done so incorrectly. Please fix your implementation. -- Note that the IP address 8.0.10.9 is NOT ours. I have seen IPs from all over the 8.0.10.* and 8.0.11.* block. Our SURBL Servers list contains both black.uribl.com and multi.surbl.org . I believe that removing black.uribl.com is likely to resolve the issue, but I was wondering a) has anyone else seen anything like this lately b) what other servers are you using c) (for logsat) Is there a way to NOT mark these e-mails as spam? The message implies that this is probably a false positive after all Thanks!

The ipaddress 8.0.10.9 will be the IP address of your DNS server. Your DNS server makes the requests to uribl.com, so it is not spamfilter that directly does it.
You can fix the problem by: 1) Doing your own DNS requests (you could install a DNS server on the same machine as spamfilter and use that). 2) You can remove the lookup forblack.uribl.com from the SURBL server lookup under the list of black lists. |
