- Performs DNS queries to check current listing status on RBLs
- Reverses server IP octets for proper RBL query format
- Uses dig with 3-second timeout for responsive checking
- Only checks traditional RBLs (Spamhaus, Barracuda, SpamCop, SORBS, CBL)
- Skips email provider checks (not queryable via DNS RBL)
- Shows LISTED/CLEAN status with response codes for detailed info
- Verifies if delisting was successful or if IP still blocked
- Gracefully handles timeouts and DNS failures
Response codes indicate:
- 127.0.0.2: SBL (Spamhaus blocklist)
- 127.0.0.3: CSS (Spamhaus CSS)
- 127.0.0.10: PBL (Policy Blocklist)
- Other codes: Varies by RBL provider
Feature validates:
1. If IP extraction succeeded from rejection messages
2. Checks current status on active traditional RBLs
3. Provides clear indication of listing status
4. Suggests next steps based on results
Users can now verify if their IP is CURRENTLY listed on each RBL,
allowing them to confirm delisting success or identify remaining issues.
