Thanks for the fine work. I finally got around to setting this up after figuring out that it wasn't thousands of URL's long and my server seems to be handling it well enough for now.
I have two suggestions for the script.
1) Add a MAXWEIGHT variable. If you score each line at say 4 points and set the MAXWEIGHT to 4, then the filter will stop processing on the first hit and save resources. I tried playing around with this to get it to work, but I'm totally clueless when it comes to batch file programming and I think I was hitting some sort of a reserved word.
2) Add the ability to remove listings contained in a text file (an exclude list). From looking over the current list of domains, there are the following:
- norton.com
- webhosting.yahoo.com
These were probably in spam, but they are not unique to spam. I also found an entry for "pe.kg" in the list which doesn't resolve and seems like it was probably from a parsing error. A list of top sites from a page linked to from the project's site shows that yahoo.com is one of the most frequently spamvertised domains, though this is clearly not listed in this file due to an exception on their end.
This type of test is definitely very vulnerable to pollution and it would be great to have a way to detect such problems and add them to a list for exclusion.
Long-term this is best suited for a DNS lookup due to various limitations of doing a contains filter, but for now, it seems to be working very well at adding points to things that are coming in below my drop weight, in fact it might very well be tagging the majority of what is scoring in my Hold level and pushing it over the top.

Hi,
The SURBL filter script has been updated and should now run under both Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000. The updated script can be downloaded at http://www.botany.gu.se/download/decludescript/SURBL_filter.zip.
Those of you that downloaded the previous version and use it on Windows 2000 don't need to update.
