Spamhaus Drop & eDrop List

kuschi

I received some download fail messages for the Spamhaus Dreop and eDrop list. After some research, I came across the following post:

https://www.spamhaus.org/resource-hub/network-security/spamhaus-drop-and-edrop-to-become-a-single-list/#who-should-use-the-drop-lists

At least for now, I believe it is safe to assume that one can delete the pull for the eDrop list as it has been merged into the Drop list, and no other steps are necessary. Thanks.

I saw an eDROP error yesterday but didn't have a chance to look into it.

That page you linked, links to https://www.spamhaus.org/blocklists/do-not-route-or-peer/#how-it-works which says they will convert to JSON format. "The text files are still being populated however, in time, these will be deprecated; users will be notified with ample notice before deprecation takes place."

I made a redmine:

@SteveITS I am still getting sporadic eDROP errors but they come and go.

But there is another issue:

When I try to remove the eDrop feed from pfBlocker, I receive a PHP error.... See attached.

@kuschi check if there’s a package update…there was a bug fixed a few days after 24.03 was released.

@SteveITS I (re-) installed the latest version 3.2.0_10 this morning. It's still the same error.

@kuschi I haven't had any problems deleting a feed entry on pfblockerng_category_edit.php.

Have you tried unchecking it on the Feeds tab?

error, for reference:

[04-May-2024 22:48:53 Europe/Zurich] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: array_key_exists(): Argument #2 ($array) must be of type array, null given in /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng_category_edit.php:447

@SteveITS Yes, and it brings me to the IPv4 Source Definitions menu to delete the entry with the known result.

SteveITS

@kuschi figures, I didn’t try clicking it.

What if you save the PRI1 page without making changes? And then try.

Worst case you could edit your config file and restore.

kuschi

@SteveITS, I am just saving without any adjustment, which results in the same error.

FYI, I started to get 502 error (bad gateway) today:

Same here. I just deleted the spamhaus links in my IP4 setup.

@kuschi I now received feedback from Spamhaus that the list is now realably available again.
