Maybe I'm dense here, but I was thinking just at the push of a button in the web interface, SIMS does an fopen on the text file, reads and parses it into the resource or whatever is required. I'm not thinking AppleEvents, HTTP or ports. I am not familiar with CGPro, but I'm thinking that must be the correct example. >Honestly, I don't quite understand all these problems with huge >static blacklists.

Weeeelll, that's exactly what I did :-) But I would suggest that not all users of SIMS are in the position to do this easily or quickly. >Doesn't it support comments in the router table an IP lists now? Yes, but with semicolons. If the text file uses # for comments, this requires some preprocessor to switch it over before SIMS can accept it. But this is a trivial example, I admit. To use a better example of the need for a preprocessor, the rbl software I use does not understand the format of IP1-IP2 in the blacklist (which is very nice I admit), it only understands the single IP or the IP/n format. For the 2 blacklists to be compatible would require a preprocessor. Note that I am not requesting a preprocessor from Stalker or any change in the formats. I'm now using an open-source personal rbl solution, and in that spirit I can figure out how to make it work. In fact I thank you kindly for your help a few weeks ago with my IP/n question. And a thanks to Joe Laffey for Whatmask also.
