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
