Rick,
This is really interesting! My stats for yesterday are:
127.0.0.2 : 929
127.0.0.3 : 608
127.0.0.4 : 46
127.0.0.5 : 5
127.0.0.6 : 539
127.0.0.7 : 12587
127.0.0.9 : 2
127.0.0.10 : 97940
So if I omit dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net I will not block much...
Any ideas on how I could whitelist some IP addresses or domain names if
needed?
Thanks!
Denis
