Here is a previously requested configuration example on the list:

If you wanted to allow only AS30071 related routes, I would suggest
setting up a filter list or equivilant. Also, routes taggged with
community 30071:666 are nullrouted at backbone level 
(OCCAID core/edge/* routers) and would be unnecessary to filter against. 
If anything, you would want to set the next-hop of routes tagged with 
30071:666 to a nullrouted address [via route-maps] to localize community 
triggered/automatic null routing.

Hopefully this will get you started.
