Len,

The new version of SNF includes an IP reputation system that builds a
large (100K - 500K IPs typ), dynamic (near real time) statistics
database.

GBUdb: 
http://kb.armresearch.com/index.php?title=Message_Sniffer.TechnicalDetails.GBUdb

It is already possible to query the GBUdb in real-time using a command
line utility or a local TCP connection, however most platforms (such
as IMail) don't provide a practical "hook" for that kind of feature.
The idea would be to reject connections as you suggest.

If I were to add a feature to periodically extract a list of IPs
(blocking list) from the GBUdb, what would be the best way to
integrate this list into IMail's ACL? What about exporting to IMGate?

Thanks,

_M
