[Xitami] Xitami/Pro webmask issues

Hi there,

I'm using Xitami/Pro - downloaded afresh last month and am having 
problems with the webmask facilities.

I'm putting the definitions in the default.aut file.

Note: This also contains the userid/password details, and all these are 
working exactly as I would expect.

However the webmask seems to be irratic to say the least:

* When used with external files (via the @ symbol) it seems to be 
completely ignored.
* Using the negative mask using the "!" symbol doesn't seem to work at 
all either
* Using a positive mask (just specifiying ip numbers with or without 
wildcards) mostly seems to work, but I still get some IP numbers - that 
clearly aren't in the list - being let through, whilst others are not.

Are there any "gotchas" I'm missing here?  Clearly something is 
seriously wrong at the moment! Any advice would be appreciated!

Cheers - Steve
