This program is a very basic interface to Paul Vixie's RBL filter. The
|
|
basic idea of the filter is that when someone is blacklisted for an email
|
|
abuse, a new domain name is resolved in the form of
|
|
"a.b.c.d.rbl.maps.vix.com", where "a.b.c.d" is actually the IP address
|
|
"d.c.b.a". For example, if the IP address 127.0.0.2 were listed as a
|
|
blacklisted address, "2.0.0.127.rbl.maps.vix.com" would have a DNS entry
|
|
(this is a real example; that address is in place as a verification
|
|
mechanism).
|
|
|
|
For more information about the RBL blacklist, please take a look at
|

|
Any ideas, bugfixes, or porting notes should be sent to me at
|
|
"emarshal@logic.net". Don't bug the MAPS people about this; they didn't
|
|
write it, and probably woudn't like getting a bunch of mail about it.
