another CustomConfig IPblock question

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Julian,

I stared at the code and put syslog printout into InitIPBlock()
to see what was going on.  Hmmm, I see it does not understand
subnets at all.  Bummer.  I would note that the counter should
count the default line as well as any other valid data read in,
IMHO:

***************
*** 695,700 ****
--- 696,702 ----
        $counter++;
      } elsif (/default\s+(\d+)/) {
        $DefaultMaxMessagesPerHour = $1;
+       $counter++;
      }
    }
    close($IPBWhitelistH);
