      Hello!

      I've looked at the the wonderful pfB reports for dnsbl but not sure how we can obtain the same data to be emailed out on a daily basis.

      This would be beneficial to look for compromised devices or just a general report. Is this something anyone has achieved by chance?

        pfBlocker might write this into log files. You can use the mailreport package to send the log to you.
        mailreport also lets you apply a filter to the file, so you can limit the lines to the actual date or to specific errors or whatever you want.

          I tried this with the dnsbl.log and switched off VIP mode to NULL (0.0.0.0) which logs it into the file. However, I am seeing LARGE discrepancies between what the report shows for a 24 hour period vs what the log shows when I parse it. I even wrote a simple script to give me some data from the log and in fact do use the email reporting tool for that output but once again huge differences.
