NAME
amispammer - The way to know if your MX IPs are blacklisted
SYNOPSIS
amispammer [ -v 0|1 ] [ -i <IPaddress> | -d <domain> ] [ -T 0|1 ] [ -f
emailfrom -t emailto -s smtp_server ] [ -h ]
DESCRIPTION
amispammer is a tool to check via command line if an IP address or
domain MX IPs appear currently on any blacklist because of spam
reported/reputation.
The main target to use it are system admininistrators or security
officers/consultants who want to check by command line whether an IP
address they are responsible or they are auditing (respectively) is
blacklisted.
To get it, amispammer will check in over 90 popular blacklisting lists,
used by almost every antispam professional devices and software.
Optionally, it is possible to send an email to some recipient when it
finish the checks with the different lists where the IP address
appears. This is very useful if this task is done automatically by
night for example, or even more frequently, in organizations where
email has critic importance. It will only send an email in case the IP
add ress appears in some blacklist.
OPTIONS
-i <IP address>: IP address to check. In A.B.C.D format
-d <domain>: Domain to be checked. Useful when there are several MX
records.
If no IP/domain is supplied with -i or -d flags, amISpammer will
assume it has to check the public IP address from it is being
executed, and it will detect it automatically
-T 0|1: Disable|Enable the queries using threads. Performance will
be improved and query time will decrease but more memory and CPU
resources will be required. By default -T 1 is enabled (with
threads enabled)
-f emailfrom: email account (sender@corp.org) who will send the
email
-t emailto: recipient email account (recipient@corp.org) who will
receive the email
-s smtp_server: SMTP Server IP Address where the email will be
sent. By Default: localhost
-v 0|1: Verbose detail.
0 (by default if nothing is specified) -> It will just show
blacklists where the IP address appears as reported. In this
mode, we will be able to send an email with results.
1 -> It will show on terminal every blacklist and the result of
checking one by one (blacklisted/not blacklisted)
-h To ask for program usage
