Hrmmm??  What version are you running?  Mine gets it right.

The point is the listing was accurate, and for clients that parse it
right, they will get valid results back.  Albeit the IP does not
response to HTTP requets now and should probably be delisted.  At
uribl.com, IP listings are automatically purged after 30 days.

Surbl.org lists several tools on their main page that use SURBL data,
some which do not rely on spamassassin uri parser.  I know uricat
(http://ry.ca/geturi/) gets it right, as does SA 3.1.x of which has been
getting it right since very early in the 3.1.0 trunk.  As for the other
clients/tools, I havent a clue.
