new pats posted - 20080530 (maintenance pats release)

30417 patterns, 11814 right anchor strings, 105253 test IPs.

Mostly some pats for hosts in the recent CBL run that didn't have pats
yet; a *lot* of in-addr.arpa hosts. If, like any other sane person, you
block on rDNS *containing* in-addr.arpa, on grounds that the ISP in
question is staffed by morons, this will matter little or not at all for
you save a few sibtele.com, entelnet.bo, and shahrad.net patterns.

Was asked to start tracking couplets (pattern class and tech, taken
together as a sort of meta-identifier); there are no new couplets in
this release.

Note that from 20080304 on, we will be including patterns for the
'outmx' tech type again, these should be understood as known legitimate
mail server naming conventions for their domain and you may wish to
exclude them from your use of the distro.

I've made sure to exclude outmx and webhost regexes from the exim and
postfix flat file distributions, so we should be safe there.

Those using the DNSBL interface will note that a return value of
127.0.2.11 now denotes an 'outmx'. This should not affect users of
the sendmail package, as I've not integrated support for scoring on
that basis into the package. Users of other DNSBL-aware tools should
modify their software, as we'll be adding a lot more of these in the
coming weeks.
