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.

has to check the public IP address from it is being executed, and it will
detect it automatically
