# Lookup a dotted quad IP address in the Realtime Blackhole List
# of the Mail Abuse Prevention System. See: http://maps.vix.com/rbl
#
#	Syntax:
#		rblookup hostname
#		rblookup -i dottedquad
#
#	Returns:
#		zero if the given host was found on the blacklist.
#		nonzero if not, or if undetermined.
#
# The RBL is an on-line, dynamically updated database of spam hosts,
# maintained via the DNS. The search key is the reversed dotted quad
# IP address of the given host, within the zone "rbl.maps.vix.com".
# A query should be done for an A resource record. If it exists, the
# given host is blacklisted as a notorious spam host. The value of the
# retrieved A record is irrelevant and can be ignored. Additional info
# may be found via an extra query for a TXT resource record.
#
# The RBL data in the DNS is replicated by several nameservers, using
# a refresh time of 10 minutes. The TTL for local caching is 5 minutes.
# The RBL nameservers do not allow zone transfers from arbitrary hosts,
# thereby preventing the setup of a stealth server, unless you sign a
# non-proliferation agreement (and you are running BIND version 8).
#
# This script is just an example of a quick and dirty wrapper for the
# ``host'' utility. The technique can relatively easy be integrated 
# into MTA programs like sendmail.
