guess you got me wrong here ;)

The Script IPBlock written by Julian and usable as extra script just adds
the ips, which should be blocked, into the access.db-file.
Means, there is no way to see the blocked ips within the access-file.

So my question was really, if the script could be changed, to insert the
blocked ips into the access-file, and then use makemap to generate the
access.db itself.

So every admin could check the access-file itself, delete the ip if
needed, generate the new access.db with makemap and so those ips which are
blocked, could be unblocked the easy way.. =)

Currently the admin only gets the chance to see which ips are blocked, as
he (or shee) is looking into the mail-og and searches for the String
blocked by Mailscanner.

I hope someone could make sense out of my sentences.. ;)
