If you create an account (free) and then you can see some details for an IP, the problem I have is that the scripts are not pulling any details since June 1st. Anyway the only thing that mattered to me was the score which you can still get.

Does anyone have a script that will run on a linux box? We are also looking for a solution to get notified about blockages...

As many of you use Nagios/Icinga for monitoring servers and other stuff, there is a wonderful plugin for checking IP addresses in RBL lists. The  RBL servers are configurable, and you can specify as many as you want. It is also multi-threaded so works pretty fast (depending on how fast is your DNS of course).

More info here: https://trac.id.ethz.ch/projects/nagios_plugins/wiki/check_rbl

PS: Should be a really nice feature if the PMC would auto-check the asigned IP addresses and make decisions on it's status. For example if the IP is blacklisted, stop sending mails using it and send a notification to the admin. That will eliminate a lot of emails sent for no reason (as ip is blacklisted and we will go into spam or refused to connect at all) and give more flexibility.

PPS: Created a feature request here: http://forum.port25.com/feature-requests-16/monitoring-ip-addresses-rbl-status-act-accordingly/

We are creating a script to monitor reputation, so ideally I would like to pull in a SenderScore, and information from SenderBase is possible.

Can someone please tell me if either of these are currently possible via a lookup? Or would the only option be to scrape the actual webpage?

Also, any other suggestions on good places to monitor reputation levels?

Senderscore only gives back the score, no details anymore, I think they stopped doing that last year, but then yes, you can log in to their web portal and get more details. Now if your IP is RP certified then they send you a lot more details.
Senderbase lookup I haven't tried, I only use that while I am warming IP's or when I think my IP might have gone cold.
Reputation Authority gives some other stats and also sends email alerts for the IP's you list with them, I use their free service.
You should also use the microsoft's smart network, that is very helpful.
I don't know how to get AOL reputation through a script, but I land up using that quite often when AOL delivery issues arise with any of our clients.
For RBL's using a script is great, run it nce a day or twice, I don't see any need to run it more than that.

Thanks for the info. The only one I wasn't using is Reputation Authority, so thanks for bringing that to my attention.

How can I query the SenderScore database, even if just to get the score itself and nothing else? Can it be done with a lookup like an RBL?

Thanks!

Yes pretty much the same way, but only score works now.
"score.senderscore.com", "cmplt.rating.senderscore.com", "vol.rating.senderscore.com", "uus.rating.senderscore.com", "filtered.rating.senderscore.com"

Anyone know how to check the listing at Trend Micro (RBL) other than their web site?

[VIN786]

I was looking at a command line thingy, the web address I have.

[Port25-Admin1]

Obviously, that is the form, but a script could submit IPs to that form and parse the returned data.

Been a long time since I have posted here but we have a full on reputation management control center called RepWatch that does everything you are looking for and then some:

RepWatch is a fully loaded reputation management system for companies interested in maintaining and/or improving the reputation of their domains and IP addresses.

It checks more RBLS than any other service
It checks SNDS
It checks ALL reputation svcs: senderscore, senderbase, trustedscore, reputation authority
It can check AOL reputation
It can handle FBL submission

RepWatch monitors your domains and IP addresses, alerts you to any issues with your reputation and gives you tips and tools to fix the problems (or you can hire us to fix them for you).

Even though RepWatch monitors more blacklists than any of our competitors, it is not just a monitoring service.

It is an all-in-one suite of tools for email senders, affiliate networks, media buyers and internet marketers that not only helps you identify blacklists and reputation monitoring systems but also helps you do all the things you need to do to help get your email through.

Repwatch helps you:

1. Get Whitelisted with important sites that will identify you as one of the good guys, either a good domain or a good mailer
2. Uncover what large companies like Return Path and Microsoft think of your domains and IP addresses (critical to insuring delivery to the top level ISPs like Hotmail and Yahoo!).
3. Setup, Maintain and Manage Feedback Loops (the secret to making ISPs love you and keep your email flowing)
4. Automatically remove yourself from blacklists to help get your mail flowing again
5. Get notified every time you are removed from blacklists or added to whitelists or your reputation is affected in some way

Repwatch is also fully integrated with multiple enterprise email sending platforms including PowerMTA, Deliverability Agent and much more! Ask us if your MTA is supported.

Let me know if anyone is interested in trying/seeing more.

[lukewd]

I'd like to know more. Please PM me with more details and pricing..

[Port25-Admin1]

Is that a hosted solution, or something that can be managed locally?

[goldbar]

It is hosted at the moment but we can certainly install it anywhere (encoded obviously).
