Bug #: 6599
Summary: Add Geo::IP support
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Plugins
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
I would say IP::Country::Fast is somewhat obsolete. It hasn't been updated in
nearly in two years and it doesn't have any easy way of updating it's database.
Any objections on using Geo::IP as default for 3.4? Probably should have used
it since few years already. We can leave IP::Country::Fast as backup.
Are there any licensing issues? From http://www.maxmind.com/app/geoip_country:
"Under the license agreement, all advertising materials and documentation
mentioning features or use of this database must display the following
acknowledgment: "This product includes GeoLite data created by MaxMind,
available from http://www.maxmind.com/.";
Only other alternative I could find right now is http://www.wipmania.com/, but
it doesn't seem to have a "standard" Perl module or efficient binary database
to download for that matter. Using network lookups would be serious overkill
imho.
