Bug in Spamcop's surbl add-on module

["Hackworth, Keith A" <Ke...@BELLSOUTH.COM>]

I found a problem with SpamCop's surbl lookup add-on.  I was installing
a new mail server and testing the surbl lookups, but my test kept
getting through not being marked as spam.  The test I was using was
http://e.1asphost.com - this is on the be.surbl.org list.  After
tinkering around a bit, and reinstalling the surbl add-on with no
success, I finally figured out what's going on.  My logs show that the
system is looking up 1asphost.com, which is NOT on the list.  For some
reason, it stripped off the "e."

It seems that spamcop's surbl doesn't handle subdomains at all.  Anyone
else seeing this?

Thanks,
Keith Hackworth

Regardless of strange characters, none of those are legal config options.

defang_mime and report_header are deprecated, see report_safe.

spam_fwd, spam_enabled and spam_trash have, as far as I know, never been SA 
config options.

hi all
i recently activated spamassassin with sql userpref but every time it
takes rules from db I receive this error:

debug: retrieving prefs for xxxxx@xxx.xxx from SQL server
debug: Failed to parse line in SpamAssassin configuration, skipping: report_header^I0
debug: Failed to parse line in SpamAssassin configuration, skipping: defang_mime^I0
debug: Failed to parse line in SpamAssassin configuration, skipping: spam_fwd
debug: Failed to parse line in SpamAssassin configuration, skipping: spam_enabled^I1
debug: Failed to parse line in SpamAssassin configuration, skipping: spam_trash^I0

the structure table and parameters are correct and there aren't
strange chars in the strings.

someone can help me?

thanks

Hmm, it is indeed in BigEvil with the e. :

bigevil.cf:uri BigEvilList_181     /\b(?:extreme-rapes\.com|excaliburproducts\.c
om|evansezmoney\.estarnetwork\.com|enjoyadvanced097\.org|emedorders\.com|email\.
homemadesimple\.com|ehostzzz\.net|e-g\.com|efreedomweb\.net|ecredibledeals\.com|
echofrompeople\.com|e\.1asphost\.com)\b/i

and it's therefore making it into be.surbl.org with the e. :

bigevil.domains:e.1asphost.com

However we should be taking off the subdomain before it goes into
the SURBL form.  I'll need to check with Chris on how we can
handle that.

BTW, SURBL is not a SpamCop project, although we are using
SpamCop URI domains as a data source in the sc.surbl.org list.
