How can I use PRTG to check if my device's IP address is listed on blacklisted servers like sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, bl.spamcop.net, dnsbl.njabl.org, list.dsbl.org, and multihop.dsbl.org?
[UPDATE] Native sensor available: IP on DNS Blacklist Sensor
Important note:
The following information is outdated. Please use the IP on DNS Blacklist sensor that PRTG includes out-of-the-box
This is possible with the Custom Sensor: IPonDNSBL
IPonDNSBL checks a IP-Address against a number of blacklist servers and returns the number of DNS Blacklists the IP-Address is on.
IPonDNSBL -ip=mail.paessler.com [-bl=bl.spamcop.net]
Enter your hostname or IP-addres behind the "-ip=" parameter.
The "-bl=" parameter is optional. You can provide a comma seperated list of blacklist servers. If omitted, the following blacklist servers are used: sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, bl.spamcop.net, dnsbl.njabl.org, list.dsbl.org and multihop.dsbl.org
The readme.txt (included in the download) provides a list of optional blacklist servers.
