hi all, i'm migrating my exim.conf from lsearch to 'dbm' lookups.
i've read abt, and easily converted most of my list lookups.i've an additional list, 'ipnets.blacklist', containing a *MIX* of ip addresses, masked ip ranges, and comments, e.g.:
W.X.Y.Z/16 # AOL Dynamic DialUps
A.A.A.128 # mother in law
A.B.C.D/20 # the government
with prior help from this list, i use it successfully with net-iplsearch to
drop on connect from these addresses/ranges:
hostlist blacklist_ipnets = net-iplsearch;LISTS/ipnets.blacklist
acl_check_connect:
...
drop message = BLACKLISTED
hosts = +blacklist_ipnets
...
but, i've not (yet) found an example of dbm usage for mixed-type lists, as
above.
i suppose a two-pass lookup string approach, matching 1st for address, then range, is doable, but at that point is it simpler/faster just to do the net-iplsearch on the text list?
bottom/line, is dbm lookup appropriate/efficient for such mixed lists? any example/reference would be appreciated .... thx, richard
