  • Switch hard coded RBL in ircd to use a sysop defined RBL list

    Currently ircd uses a hard coded rbl known as dronebl to reduce spam traffic to ircd.

    Suggest that dronebl is moved to a sysop configurable file of rbl's and is included as default whilst allowing the sysop to experiment with additional rbl's as required.

    When blocking an IP, ircd should log which rbl caused which IP to be blocked. --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux

    Alternative way forward, could be to keep dronebl hardcoded (so that it cannot be removed), and include a config file to add sysop defined rbl's in addition to the built in one.

    It'd be nice to combine this with Synchronet's ctrl/dns_blacklist.cfg feature that's used for email. I'll talk to Rob about this and see what we can come up with.

    Just making a note here that this is going to be implemented in ircd.ini in the following way:

    ``
    [RBL:an_example]
    hostname=rbl.example.com

    [RBL:second_example]
    hostname=2nd-rbl.example.com
    ``

    The descriptions ("an_example" and "second_example") are comments only, they're not parsed by the ircd. Only the "hostname" property per RBL section will be used.

    This is added in

    Keyop, talk to me on IRC since you'll need to have an ircd.ini to make this work.
