Free SURBL sources + rbldnsd extensive docs + configuring spamassin with new surbl source?

[selven <pc...@gmail.com>]

Hi, i wanted to set up my own surbl server, unfortunately, not much
information is available around, most of the time am bumping into this
http://www.surbl.org/public-dns.html, but well, getting rsync data feed
access from surbl.org is way too expensive for a bunch of kids at school. Is
there some sort of free list out there that i can rsync from and then if
there's any guide/docs that i could follow to get my spamassassin to query
my local surbl server.

Thanks

Sounds more like he wants to do this as an exercise - selven, you could
always rsync the uceprotect lists, if those are useful to you.

What's wrong with querying the public servers?

SURBL/URIBL & DBL are free if you remain below their heavy traffic usage 
policies. The Invaluement.com lists are not free for public querying but 
an interesting alternative as well.

If, as you say, you only cater for "a bunch of kids at school" you 
shouldn't be hitting the BL's thresholds.
