I gave it a shot, but I ran into errors. This is what I got "PHP Notice: Undefined variable: ipcheck.php on line 49
I had to get sendmail installed to see the response, but it seems that it will say that there are blacklisted IP or there are not blacklisted ip, but it doesn't say how many it scanned or it doesn't tell which ip are actually blacklisted. Then again it could be something wrong on my end.
I will take a look twomorrow
I have done some testing, the issue lies with
Undefined variable: listed in ****************/ipcheck.php on line 49
Installing sendmail fixed that for us. We had used minstall. Or so I think. I dunno I'm tired :P
Yep I know what it is I zipped the old version. Will put the other one up twomorrow
Like I said more features coming also
I don't know exactly how long it took but it was well over 6 hours to check 2 /22 subnets against 80-90 blacklists. I probably should move the script to a server that doesn't do a lot of processing (munin is a beast).
It does not use the dedicated IP field in WHMCS because that's not very useful, I want it to check all of the IPs our clients use not just the "main IP". We have some clients with 60-90 IPs across 3-5 VPSs so checking only 3-5 IPs out of the 60-90 doesn't make much sense to me.
there's something better a provider can do, that just checking rbl after having their ip space reputation trashed. Subscribe to spam feedback loops.
ie this is for msn/hotmail/live.com
but there are similar programs for yahoo etc.
@KuJoe Does it use the assigned ip's for the holding of those ip's?
I'm not sure what you mean. The script posted above uses a file to get the list of IPs.
@24khost What license is your script released under? (ref)
Sorry I didn't intend to, thanks for the tip. For how much time I spend on here talking about things that are entirely insignificant to the purpose, you wouldn't think I'm as busy as I am. Spamcop's website hurts my eyes, couldn't immediately find what you were referring to and then I forgot. Thanks for the direct link, I'll check it out.
@KuJoe In whmcs there is a field that called assigned ip's
@joepie91 No license.
@24khost Ok that makes more sense but still not ideal.
@KuJoe Well I am developing first one for whmcs database. Then I will modify it use a list for anybody else who wants it.
@KuJoe we also want to add Client Name and such so that the output will give you any blacklisted ip's and who they are assigned to. How many ip's were checked. I am sure there is more that can be added this is just the start of it.
I am going to add seperate config file soon also
So that means noone can use, reproduce, improve or modify it. See also the reference I gave.
I might change license as nothing is set in stone yet.
@joepie91 haven't released much software. What license do you think would be good. How about creative commons?
It depends on what you want, but I'd recommend a software-specific license, as they usually give you more fine-grained control and more clarity specifically for software (such as distinguishing between usage of binaries and usage of source). If you want all derivatives to be under the same or compatible license forcefully (copyleft, similar to Creative Commons Share-Alike) you'll want GPL. If the requirement is attribution (similar to Creative Commons Attribution), you'll want to look at BSD or MIT. If you really don't give a shit about what people do with it (similar to public domain, but internationally possible), look at the WTFPL or optionally CC0.
Disclaimer: IANAL. I personally always use the WTFPL, simply because I hate dealing with licensing and legal mumbo-jumbo, and the WTFPL doesn't throw a pile of legal mumbo-jumbo on someones plate.
@joepie91 wtf is wtfpl? link for that one?
It was in fact already a link, but here's what I linked it to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTFPL
That sounds good joepie91 That is what will be in the next version!
How did you get on with this?
We use a script that pulls IP's directly from SolusVM instead of WHMCS and passing them to around 30 sbl/rbl's. using net_dnsbl.
We just registered our netblocks with spamcop and they notify us every hour if there are any spamtraps hit by our address space. And they also send us a summary once a day.
edit: i mean spamcop.net
Wow, I really need to setup a cron for this. The only time I remember to manually run the script is when I see this thread. :X
Well since not everybody uses soulusvm, I was writing it for a system that can work with what 90% of the industry uses.
@24khost - it wasn't a dig, sorry
The reason we didn't go with WHMCS is that not all IP's in use on a VPS will necessarily be listed. Doing it via SolusVM ensures you get every IP that is in use..well, as long as nothing has screwed up.
