Davide,

A feature request:

DNS based black lists have for quite some time now returned more than just a
'yes' or 'no' response.
They are capable of returning the reason they are in the list, by reading
the last octet of the returned ip address.

This allows administrators the ability to determine the level of 'grey' they
want.
-see message below-

Rob :-)
