Scott,
I use LOGLEVEL HIGH and I do get the lines. What I would like to have is
the filter NAME added to those lines. They would then look like:

Ah, I see. That will be changed in the next release.
We've recently learned about Web-o-Trust ("WOT"), which is a whitelisting
system that has a lot of potential. Specifically, you whitelist your own
IPs, and then link to others that you want whitelisted.
For example, we've created a file at http://www.declude.com/web-o-trust.txt
that lists the

Well let's try to have a discussion about sharing lists, if anyone is in
fact interested.
It takes a lot of effort to identify IP blocks for white, gray and black
lists. I've seen some people include whole class C's without seemingly
verifying that they were all under the control of one party.
Ha - I'd love for spammers to create WOTs with all of their current IPs. All
we have to do is see the first spam, realize why it was whitelisted and then
blacklist their entire range.
A dream come true.
