Revision history for Perl extension Net::DNSBL::MultiDaemon
0.29 Sat Mar 6 13:53:45 PST 2010
Change SOA to return zone name instead of 'localhost' so that
stand alone operation returns the correct NS record
Updated rc.multi_dnsbl to return "bound to" IP address instead
of 127.0.0.1 ##WARNING## if this is set to all interfaces
'0.0.0.0' the NS record address will be bogus
Add standard 127.0.0.2 response to query for 127.0.0.1
Add standard A response for zone only lookup
Add standard NS response for zone only lookup

Clarify documentation about INCLUDE statement for multidnsbl.conf
0.27 Thu Oct 22 18:50:33 PDT 2009
The extra AUTHORITY records returned from the originating host
are no longer included. Some DNSBL's with many mirrors caused
this section to overflow and return records that 'bind' would not
accept (i.e. longer than the allowed 512 UDP).

0.26 Sun Nov 16 15:47:51 PST 2008
replace 'sub DO' with File::SafeDO in Utilities v0.09
to support INCLUDE keys in the configuration file
NOTE: rc.multi_dnsbl has been updated to use doINCLUDE
if you are using an old version of rc.multi_dnsbl and
wish to use the INCLUDE feature, you must update your
scripts.
0.25 Sun Nov 9 15:01:48 PST 2008

add 'acceptany' key to DNSBL codes to allow
any A record returned to be considered valid.

Remove dependency on NetAddr::IP in Net::DNSBL::Utilities.
Newer versions of NetAddr::IP only run on perl 5.6 or later
and require Math::BigInt. In it's place, we will use
NetAddr::IP::Lite
0.15 Tue Feb 22 22:18:52 PST 2005
Add support for IPv6 records in 'additional' section of answers
requires Net::DNS::ToolKit 0.24
Commentary:
Some DNSBL's are now including IPv6 AAAA records in the "additional"
section of the query response. Previous versions of MultiDaemon
hardwired an "A" response for all the records in that section.
When an AAAA record was encountered, it would send a packet of the
wrong length which would produce an "unexpected end of data" error
in the "named" daemon making the query. Note, that these records are
returned by MultiDaemon to assist in tracking the origin of the Query
though they are always unused since the MultiDaemon is seen by the
client as being on it's underlying host and the glue records from
the true responding host are in this circumstance extra baggage.
This release checks for the presence of both A and AAAA records in
the "additional" section and discards any other record types.

update documentation

Update rc.multi_dnsbl v1.05 to correct typo that caused
"Not a SCALAR reference at /etc/init.d/rc.multi_dnsbl line 118 (#1)"
error when using CountryCode blacklisting.
"list2hash" not imported in /etc/init.d/rc.multi_dnsbl
Thanks to "Peter" <spamcannibal@legallybond.com> for spotting
those two errors.
Update Utilities::cntinit v0.03 to initialize counts for
Passed, WhiteList and BlackList (IGNORE,BLOCK) entries,
update STAT sort to push above to bottom of list.
Update to count Passed, WhiteList and BlackList (IGNORE,BLOCK)
entries in stats file and print subtotal of rejects followed
by WhiteList and Passed entries
0.12 Wed Jun 23 16:46:38 PDT 2004
updated the documentation in multi_dnsbl.conf.sample
to clarify problems with the timeouts in sendmail when using
Net::DNSBL::MultiDaemon
0.11 Fri Jun 18 13:07:14 PDT 2004
Change default SOA record to use TTL of 3600
seconds for negative caching and set refresh, retry, to reasonable
values
0.10 Sat Mar 20 14:34:51 PST 2004
change 'A' response for configured DNSBL's to always return
127.0.0.2 -- previous versions returned the 'A' record from
the responding DNSBL. This was inconsistent since different
DNSBL's don't necessarily use the same codes to specify their
rejection reason. Since the DNSBL configuration allows
parsing the individual codes for each zone, 127.0.0.2 allows
consistency in MultiDaemon's response and does not overlap
the return codes for in-addr.arpa, BLOCKED and BBC
0.09 Fri Jan 16 15:09:32 PST 2004
updated Net::DNSBL::Utilities to
print the totals at end of log file
0.08 Wed Jan 7 11:08:30 PST 2004
Correct documentation on DEPENDENCIES to include
Geo::IP::PurePerl and NetAddr::IP
update DNSBL's in config file to track Mail::Spamcannibal

Having a little cockpit trouble today :-) Left out the
initialization for response when no in-addr.arpa record is found.
The nscount and arcount passed through from the PTR record must be
set to zero.

Oops! left perl diagnostics turned on in 0.05
0.05 Mon Dec 8 13:13:12 PST 2003
in-addr.arpa queries did not accept SERVFAIL responses as
as valid, just expected NXDOMAIN when reverse queries failed.
Logic corrected.
0.04 Sun Dec 7 11:55:05 PST 2003
Oops! I neglected to import Net::DNSBL::Utilities::statinit
into Net::DNSBL::MultiDaemon so SIG{USR2} was causing a crash.
0.03 Wed Nov 26 18:04:00 PST 2003
WARNING, you need to upgrade your rc.multi_daemon if this
if you have a previously installed version of this module.
split MultiDaemon into two modules so the utilities are
available to new applications.
Created Net::DNSBL::Utilities
add logic to always allow 'IGNORE' block
add logic to always reject 'BLOCK' block
add logic to Block By Country
add logic to reject failed reverse DNS
0.02 Sat Nov 22 16:03:59 PST 2003
sockaddr_in does not always ask for scalar arguments
as expected on some perl/OS combinations, therefore
scalar arguments must be provided... in particular for
the output of Net::DNS::ToolKit::get_ns which uses
want_array (xs) to return scalar or array values.
Thanks to "Gary E. Miller" <gem@rellim.com> for spotting this bug.
