Grinch Description

Grinch is a small script written in Perl which can be used to check whether a given address is an open mail relay host. Grinch is a small script written in Perl which can be used to check whether a given address is an open mail relay host. It can operate as a daemon and speaks the tcp_map protocol implemented in Postfix in that case.It's also possible to use it in arbitrary shell script environments where the hostname is read from stdin and the error code is written to stdout.The goal is to check "on the fly" whether a host accepts mail to a given destination it actually may not relay for. If it does, Grinch waits for the sent mail to return to you for a configurable period and meanwhile returns a soft error (450) for that host.If the mail returns, the suspected host was verified as an open open relay and will be rejected until its cache entry times out. Requirements: · Perl, the glue of the internet · Net::Server::PreForkSimple · Net::SMTP · Sys::Syslog · Cache::Cache
