The project is to set up a dns server to list spam-vertised domain names, plus all of the opt-in services domain names.
This would be a domain name server set up only with spamvertised domains, the way MAPS and ORDB setup name servers to lookup open relays. You point the program to this name server, look up the domain name, if it resolves, it's a spamvertised domain.

I'm not sure what good would that do for you. You can't use that IP address on a blacklist, since the chances of it originating mail itself are infinitesmal (that's why people spamvertise from other servers, I'd think). If you want to just provide an RBL for hostnames you find in an email body, using the DNS protocol is a great idea, but there's no reason to have a real IP address associated with the name, just a 127.0.0.2 response or similar to signify whether the name is listed. You could do likewise for IP addresses, like the IP4r method does, and even phone numbers if you're creative. GetHostByName() usage is pretty straightforward--there must be hundreds of howtos for VB (though you'll probably need to build/buy COM object for ASP). Again, what's the project exactly? -Sandy --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
