Hi Folks,

I have released an updated script that adds no new functionality, but
removes MSRBL (as it's no longer being updated) and fixes some issues
that have been reported since the last update was released.

Here is what has changed with this release (from the CHANGELOG):

Version 3.7 (updated 2010-01-23)
   - Removed MSRBL from script as the signature files have not been
     updated since July 2009.  Script users should consider removing
     the MSRBL signature files (MSRBL-Images.hdb & MSRBL-SPAM.ndb)
     from their systems.
   - Rearranged some logging lines in the SecruiteInfo section of the
     script to resolve an issue some were having with rsyncing of files
     into the ClamAV production directory.  Issue reported by Ted S.
   - Removed "+tcp" from the dig command as some sites are blocking
     DNS queries over TCP Port 53.  Added instead the "+ignore"
     flag which will silence the "Truncated" warning when the DNS
     query-response is larger than a single UDP packet can contain.
     This is not an issue since the script initially uses the first
     listed IP address anyway.  Issue reported by Matija Nalis.
   - Replaced "echo -ne" with "printf" when the script is run with
     the "-m" flag, for creating a signature file.  The echo "-e"
     and in some cases "-n" flags are not universally supported by
     all system shells.  Issue reported by Paul Wise.
   - Added new Sanesecurity distributed signature databases and updated
     the risk ratings for all signature databases listed in the config
     file based on info provided at www.sanesecurity.com/databases.htm.

The only change made to the configuration file was the removal of the
MSRBL section.

As usual, let me know if there are any issues, suggestions, or feature
requests.

Bill
