Changes for version 0.83 - 2007-11-21

  • This release includes a major upgrade to the way in which IP's are added to an removed from the database. IP's whose PTR record match the generic form 'ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd' were targeted for optional inclusion in the permanent zonefile in rev 0.83. This concept has been expanded in this release to include automated addition to the zonefile (evidence database) of IP's that match a configurable regular expression list for both mailfilter and BLcheck scripts. In addition, for the BLcheck script the additions can be alternatively made to the internal (non-zonefile blcontrib db) which are also removable by BLpreen script.
  • Matching updates have been made to the helper routine Net::DNSBL::MultiDaemon which prefilters connections to the mail system before BLcheck runs.
  • updated sc_Blacklist.conf.example to change sbl.spamhaus.org to zen.spamhaus.org removed relays.ordb.org, commented out bl.spamcop.net because it is way to aggressive.
  • move dnsbl blocking check to after ordered delay in sc_mailfilter.pl
  • disable restart wait period if in sub 'block4zonedump' when no zonedump pid file is found
  • fix typo in public_html/incl/delist.incl
  • subroutine xcidr24 is deprecated and removed, replaced with Xcidr24 that has an enhanced API
  • GENERIC PTR record checking and CIDR24 checking is added to sub BLcheck in ScriptSupport v0.48
  • configuration for sc_mailfilter.conf XCIDR24 and sc_BLcheck GENERIC is enhanced and added respectively
  • change ignor, regexp GENERIC detection to ignore case in ScriptSupport.pm v0.49
