I recently used snfclient.exe to "whitelist" the IP address (actually a
whole /24) of a mailing list manager that my users deem to be
trustworthy.
 
snfclient.exe -set 64.62.197.53 good - -
 
You might argue the merits of this IP address, but that's not why I'm
writing...
 
I deliberately left alone the last two parameters, so as to not disturb
the counts, given that I'm "whitelisting" by forcing the "good" flag.
 
I assume that this does not affect the GBU community at all, because
it's the good and bad counts that are shared, not the flag. Is this
correct?
 
Does the ARMResearch support notice when an administrator does this, and
research whether the findings are good?
 
The "Bad count" and "Good count" I see when I do a:
 
snfclient.exe -test 64.62.197.53
 
are results only on my own server, and not the GBU community. Is this
correct?
 
I assume that condensation affects the counts, and not the flag. So I
will only lose this "good" flag if the GBUdb is dumped (or I build a new
server). Is this correct?
