I've looked on the web and it should indeed be working, but I have not
got it working with a file-mask either..

I tried to fill that file with the following:
====
!62.163.247.39
!62.194.19.162
!62.194.20.18
!62.194.59.33
!62.194.80.21
!62.194.134.15
!62.163.206.118
*

But this does not work. Given IP's still show up in my access-logs...

AES> Should I put in the [webmask] at the top??

AES> Should I separate each IP address with a comma??  or just list them down the

If anybody has the answer I would like to know as well!
