What is the UBL

UBL - Url Blacklist - this is an advisory-realtime database that is managed by the InternetDefence team. Unlike convential blacklists (rbl, sbl..) UBL blocks urls (links) contained in the message body of the email. UBL does not block the email based on the senders information - the domain or the ip address - but blocks the email based on any links contained in the message body. UBL is not intended to block the source of the message, but to block the links advertised in the email. When urls are detected in the message body, the base domain is extracted and then is compared with the entries in the ubl database.
