Re: BlockIP logic incorrect ??
well, thats no big deal, it's just a new version of the source... The rework have saved me a lot of work, to enhance it even more ;o) The biggest problem can be the search engines/spiders, which will find this version 2.0 of the program, so newbies will download the source instead of the maintained version. So maybe I should send a mail here and on www.MQSeries.Net when there are new versions released ? Personally I think of such mails as spam, your oppinion wanted here :o) I'm quite happy that Sid did a redesign, I'm shure that the version soon vill be available from my website. I just have to run it thru my testcases to see if it work, I shure it works ;o) When I look a year back, and see how BlockIP have changed, and the requirements, from just a simple conname filtering program to what it is today. I see that it gives www.mrmq.dk a lot of traffic, so it have been a great success, and it know that the z/OS version of the original exit have been used for design base in some vendor packages. The language used here might offend some persons.. Politeness please here :-o Kind regards Jxrgen www.mrmq.dk the author of BlockIP From: Wyatt, T.

G'Day Jxrgen, Well I went a bit overboard with the additional functionality and after studying your code I decided to do a complete re-write... I figured you would be pissed at me so I have not yet released it but essentially I split out all the code into a modular form so that the main block of logic is no longer a big bloatted mess. I have also made a fundamental change to the logic of the exit so that it denied everything and if criterior failed it exited with the SUPPRESS flag already set. So if you pass everything that needs to be done then you set OK as the LAST step. The original code did a lot of duplication in checking and was not very modular so when I tried to add the logging functionality I needed I found it very difficult with the original structure. Basically each group of checks now has it's own method/function call. So there is Pattern checking, CON= checking (you already had that one in a function), SSL checking, UserId, MqmUsers ids and a method to process the file and a method to process an array of options (which means the options could be in a file or in the exit data field. It is now easier to add additional options and the code to handle them. the code is not yet finished but I have attached todays effort, if you don't want it thats fine, I'll keep it in house for my own use.

Re: BlockIP logic incorrect ??
Actually, I miss the days when we used to get announcements of new and updated Support Pacs here. Personally, I don't mind your announcing new versions of BlockIP here, especially since it's grown to the stature of an unofficial Support Pac. Your work on the program and willingness to add features and incorporate code from others is greatly appreciated. Don't worry about the language, the code page conversion is automatic! -- T.Rob -Original Message- From: Jxrgen Pedersen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 2:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: BlockIP logic incorrect ??

Re: BlockIP logic incorrect ??
Seeing that you are giving it away for free, and since you are not claiming it will make any body parts bigger, I would not consider it spam if you let us know when new versions come out. -Original Message- From: Jxrgen Pedersen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 2:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: BlockIP logic incorrect ?? well, thats no big deal, it's just a new version of the source...
