Betreff: policyd-weight feature request

Hi,

Was wondering if support for whitelists would be made available in
policyd-weight?

For example, see: http://www.dnswl.org/

I add it in here:

   'list.dnswl.org',                0.00,    -5.0,          'DNSWL',

But it still counts as a 'bad' RBL,

I had that issue some time ago. I wrote to Robert asking to only count as bad 
dnsbl if the rating added is positive. If a negative rating is added, then the 
bad dnsbl is not counted. I think that this is now the default way of 
calculating inside policyd-weight. What version are you using?

0.1.14 beta-12 currently.

is there any chance of making a
whitelist section where if X number of whitelist RBLs include a certain IP
-or- the value is less than X it is allowed?

This then leads to a second question, perhaps one wants to place emphasis
or weight upon the trust level:

Per: http://www.dnswl.org/tech

Trustworthiness / Score (127.0.x.Y):

     * 0 = none - only avoid outright blocking (eg Hotmail, Yahoo
mailservers, -0.1)
     * 1 = low - reduce chance of false positives (-1.0)
     * 2 = medium - make sure to avoid false positives but allow override
for clear cases (-10.0)
     * 3 = high - avoid override (-100.0).

So it would need to be something like:

list.dnswl.org ret=127.0.0.0  -5.0
list.dnswl.org ret=127.0.0.1  -3.0


Just an idea..  But the main request is a @whitelist for
RBL's to help reduce false positives.

Justin.

Steve
