Hi Scott: Just thinking out loud. I currently use filters to "group" multiple test results. It works fine - but it's not very intuitive to your new customers. I also don't like maintaining external files where it doesn't offer any other benefits.
How about the following "GROUP...GROUPEND" syntax in Global.cfg: OPENRELAY GROUP OR * 5 0 SORBS-SMTP ip4r dnsbl.sorbs.net 127.0.0.5 0 0 AHBLRELAYS ip4r dnsbl.ahbl.org 127.0.0.2 0 0 NJABLRELAYS ip4r qwdnsbl.njabl.org 127.0.0.2 0 0 DSBLSINGLE ip4r list.dsbl.org * 0 0 ORDB ip4r relays.ordb.org * 0 0 KUNDENSERVER ip4r relays.bl.kundenserver.de 127.0.0.2 0 0 * GROUPEND By definition, each test could only be part of one group. Nested grouping would not be supported One could define either "OR" or "AND" condition for the group. This may be a simple way to address some of the frequent request to "combine" tests with AND and OR without having to introduce a complete "scripting" language.

All the open relay tests will fail ONE filter. So whether one or 4 black-lists say it's an open relay - it will only get ONE weight. All the DUL/DUHL will fail ONE filter. So, whether a dial-up or dynamic port is listed in one or many black-lists - it will only get ONE weight. This technique allowed me to check against MORE blacklists AND define a higher weight for each "class" of blacklist. I don't have to fear that just because a dial-up port is "widely known" it will suddenly fail JUST on that.
