Automatic dsbl.org (blacklist) delisting.

[eloj]

I've written a pretty basic perl script ("dnsbl-delister") which can be used to set up automatic delisting from DNS blacklists, though currently limited to dsbl.org lists. This is handy if you run your own mail off a dynamic IP.

Example run:

nynaeve:/home/eloj/dev/dnsbl-delister# cat /var/log/dnsbl-delister.log
2005-08-11 17:00:22 IP XX.124.28.246 is blacklisted at list.dsbl.org
2005-08-11 17:00:34 Delisting successfully requested for host 'myhost.my.isp.com' [XX.124.28.246]
2005-08-11 17:01:11 Scanning email.
2005-08-11 17:01:11 Delisting URL located at line #24

Sorry, but this is the wrong approach to this. Give up, and just smarthost via your ISP. Sending mail directly from a dial-up\DSL\cable connection is going to be a losing battle (thanks to spammers and people with trojans).
