[sniffer] Opening truncate.gbudb.net

[Pete McNeil]

Hi Sniffer Folks,

We have been testing a blacklist based on real-time GBUdb data 
(generated from Message Sniffer).


We have decided to experiment with opening up the blacklist for a wider 
audience and so as of now you can use truncate.gbudb.net as an ip4r test.


You should get a result of 127.0.0.1 if the IP is well into the truncate 
range -- That is: truncate.gbudb.net is designed to be 
ultra-conservative so that it should be safe to reject connections based 
on the test in most cases. This also means that it won't block 
everything -- only the worst of the worst. That said, the folks who have 
been testing it have reported that it did drop a significant amount of 
traffic from their systems on average.


Please keep us all posted about how it's working for you.

Thanks,

_M

I've added it as a warn_if_reject on a backup mx that only seems to
process junk...
