Calling external file parameters into scripts?

["Lance Peterson" <dlancep@onebox.com>]

I'm trying to call an external file in a bash firewall script on my Debian
system.  The external file is /etc/ban_list.  I tried this without success:

for site in /etc/ban_list; do
   iptables -A banned_site -s site -j DROP
done

Can someone show me the right way to call in parameters to a script from
an external file?
