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
