Hi Paul, I was just about to ask if you wanted to help us get MidEvil into an SURBL along with BigEvil. We've asked Chris to see if his data sources would allow the BigEvil domains to go out in an RBL and are hoping (fingers crossed!!) to hear that he can get a green light. There are SpamAssassin administrators hoping and waiting around the world to be able to use these good lists in RBL form and free up some memory from their SA servers. (By using them as SURBLs instead of SA rule sets, the data is cached in DNS zone files on their local name service.) All we need is a feed of a list of domains and our scripts can turn them into (SU)RBLs, and our network of DNS and rsync servers can get the RBL zone files out. Probably ideally we would combine MidEvil and BigEvil if you and Chris could go for that. We could also make a separate, combined list of *Evil and Bill Stearns' sa-blacklist which we already have in RBL form, pending agreement on the SURBL name for Bill's list.
