new pats posted - 20080612-01 (maintenance pats release)

31038 patterns, 11875 right anchor strings, 107716 test IPs.

A couple of class corrections, and the very last of the CBL vs. EL
run candidates, for reals this time. Will start another resolve run
soon and see how we're doing. Last I checked, EL matched 99.0064%
of the hosts in CBL with rDNS as of 122407. As there is a lot of
overlap with SBL and our own local "static spammer" blacklist, I
think that's pretty good, and probably more like six nines of the
hosts that aren't static spammer netblocks. Will do more testing
soon.

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.
