Now they become more of a hinderence. I have some plans for some new scipts to get domain names, but adding anything to the actual cf file has to be done by hand. Same example: domain.net and domain.com is a spammer. But domain.org is not. I can't just say /domain\.(?:com|net|org)/ because of the FP. Also scripts don't see things like: spam2003.com, spam2004.com,..... could be rewritten as /spam200\d\.com/ Or that some of the IP addresses can be broken down to subnets. I see what you mean by the tree structure of the rules. Eventually I hope to get there. I plan to pull out .org,us,info tld's into their own rules. So I'm changing a few at a time. But at this point, automating any changes isn't going to work :( --Chris ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
