Sky broadband IP's UK

[chris74]

Hi I've noticed that some SKY IP ranges are not being correctly identified by the CC checking. On one server we have GB ignored, but I keep seeing LFD blocking them.

IP: 5.65.121.x (GB/United Kingdom/xxx.skybroadband.com)
Failures: x (smtpauth)
Interval: x
Blocked: Temporary Block


If the country is being correctly identified via the geoip lookup - why is the IP not being ignored?

It's a discrepancy in the different Maxmind databases, which we have no control over. Different ones are used for lookups and Country Code blocking/ignores/allowing. We are going to look at changing the way CC_IGNORE works in the future to try and overcome this issue for this setting.

This change has now been implemented and should give a more consistent approach in v6.47:

Great news! Thanks very much.

For us novices can you give an example of how this would be set up to ignore China?
Then perhaps I could wing it from there. Thanks
