I was wondering if anyone has written a Squid/proxy redirector filter that uses SURBL?
Bill Stearns has some instructions for using Squid, Privoxy and other programs with sa-blacklist, which is the data source that goes into ws.surbl.org, at:
http://www.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/README.howtouse.html
It would seem to me the URLs referenced by SURBL are Web sites I'd never want to go to? :-)
Perhaps, though we would probably not want to make that decision in a shared or public environment. Bear in mind that the SURBL data is strongly biased towards URIs that appear in spam. While it's true that most people would probably not want to visit spam sites, they could be useful for spam research, etc.
Maybe it would be only usable via an rsync feed (i.e text
file), but the
data quality should be pretty good...
Bill allows web grabs of sa-blacklist, but SURBLs are usually used though DNS query or rsync only for high volume mail servers.
You may want to discuss this further on the SURBL discussion list:

I think you will start seeing more support of this in the future. I know
some people are working on it. I wish thunderbird would just incorporate it
into the browser. Consider it an option to turn on. And if you really want a
secure browser, allow it to block by IP, not just domain.
I fully realise this may cause FPs, but its just a web browser, and just as
easy to turn the option down a setting or hold down a hotkey to temp
disable.
Its the wave of the future! :)

Theres an anti-virus plugin for Dansguardian at http://www.pcxperience.org/dgvirus/. This uses MailScanner to do the AV stuff, but I guess it could also use MS for the SA/URI-RBL stuff.
It's not been maintained for a while so if someone has some time (yeah right)...
