------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-07-28 10:33 ------- Theo, this patch doesn't change behaviour, we don't actually give points for IPs that are in the reserved ranges (which I agree is likely to cause FPs in some wierd setups). instead we just skip them entirely from DNSBL lookups and the like. in terms of giving +ve points for certain IP addresses, we can only do that for guaranteed-never-usable IPs like multicast or 127.[^0], IMO. (a) the reason 192.168, 10, and 172.16 et al are at the top of the old one is because they are by far the most frequently-encountered reserved ranges; it adds a little efficiency. (I don't know if that actually helps though.) (b) I don't actually see any use of CYMRU as a source, going by the comments. (c) I would suggest not listing the "growth edges" of the existing registrar spaces, such as 071 -- since once the ARIN space from 063-070 is exhausted, IANA will start registering networks in that /8. This rev of the code could still be in use at several sites by that stage, and it'd mean they'd miss DNSBL hits for relays in those networks; this has happened before. So what I did last time was to allow lookups for hosts in 071 and similar "growth edge" areas, assuming they may be allocated in the code's lifetime. So I'm +0.5, given those. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
