Now in my spamassassin can I do a DNS check (on all domains in body-urls

bad NS servers. What is the risk of FP's because innocent DNS providers may see themselves getting list


better show an example so that we can see.
if the NS belongs to a spam organization, then it's ok. otherwise, just because a spammer configures his dns to point to my domain doesn't mean you can block me!



I have to say that the idea of having a blacklist of name servers used by spammers is interesting. Something to investigate.

one, and its a good one, is already in use :-)

uridnsbl        URIBL_SBL       sbl.spamhaus.org.       TXT


Yes - true, but the SBL lists the IP of the nameservers.

I think Ram has seen the same thing as me in the past, I've had stuff that has slipped past the URIBL_* tests and upon investigation of the FNs - the *domain name* of the nameservers for the referenced domain is already listed in either SURBL or URIBL, so therefore if the URIBL_* tests were expanded to lookup the nameservers hostnames, strip of the domains and test those against the URIBL_* lists, then it might yield some good results.

Cheers,
Steve.
