CommentSpam.org RBL Fixed

After my massive update of the CommentSpam.org database last week, I accidentally posted a couple of entries without an IP address. That broke the Real-Time Blacklist CVF file. I added some logic to my CVF handler to check for DBNull before adding a node to the XML document. I should have done that earlier <smacks forehead> but it's working now.

I'm hoping to move to the next version of the specification in January, which will add some new validation logic. Namely, the individual address validator will also contain the number of entries in the database for that address. I'll also have a schema for validating the XML file.

Please let me know if there are any other problems.

  • David,



    I haven't cleaned up those entries yet. Sometimes .Text detects 2 IP addresses when you add comments to teh DB, so it dumps them both in the field. I then have to go through manually and duplicate the entries for the ones that do not show a LAN address as the secondary address.



    I would agree, it would be REALLY nice if there were a .Text add-in that used it.
