Neil,

    Your script is quite helpful, but I don't follow your suggestion about
not needing DNSlib.

    gethostbyname would resolve to the IP address of the spammer, but it
doesn't do any checking against the blacklists....The only exception that I
can think of would be if you were using the blacklist organizations DNS
servers as your primary DNS server???
