How can I help the SURBL community provide public DNS?
The SURBL community still needs help with public DNS. Many systems use SURBL data via free public DNS queries. The public DNS servers are provided by about 50 volunteer organizations around the world, mostly ISPs and mail filter providers. If you can put a public-facing rbldnsd nameserver at a well-connected datacenter, then please apply for rsync access and consider hosting a SURBL public nameserver. You can reach us by email at rsync at our domain. It’s an excellent way to support the SURBL community. I’m using an anti-spam or anti-phishing DNS proxy, and I’m seeing legitimate sites marked as unsolicited. There are some DNS proxy or modification services that change the responses from certain DNS queries in order to prevent users from visiting sites advertised in phishing, unsolicited messages, etc. This can cause errors when using SURBLs if the proxies return an IP address of an alternative (safe) web site. The modified IP address can have an incorrect effect on SURBL list identific
