Since dig and whois is under the GPL, it could just be rolled into the install package. *shrug*
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matti Haack Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2006 10:42 AM To: Questions and Answers for users of ASSP Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy Subject: Re: [Assp-user] dig and windows You don't need the complete BIND-Package or another server or service! You can just install the DIG and WHOIS by unzipping this archive to any Folder in Windows: http://pigtail.net/LRP/dig/ Then set the PATH in the system-Enviroment to the locate where you unzipped dig, and follow the instructions about the config file as on the download page. So even if it is uncomfortable, it is an easy solution. Maybe later versions of Net::DNS::Resolver will work better. Best would be if the dig support would be optional...
