2 patches for autowhite.c

2004-06-14 by Matthieu Herrb

Hi,

the attached patch (relative to 1.4) fixes 2 things:

- syslogging of expired autowhitelisted entries was wrong (logged the 
entry that triggered the expiration instead of the expired one)

- a more sublte problem with lazy autowhitelisting: I discovered this 
one with the german right extremist spams this weekend. In fact we want 
lazy whitelisting XOR subnet matching, not both at the same time (a lot 
too permissive).

Not seen here.

Mmmm... Don't you think this patch lack some diffs on the documentation?
:)

I'm not sure if this is a good change. You want subnet matching to deal
with mail farms, and you want lazyaw to get a learning of friendly
addresses that work for the whole site, not per user. 

On the other hand, I don't really care as I don't use this lazyaw. Do
all lazyaw users want lazyaw XOR subnet matching? People, please speak!
