Check IP range for DNSBL listing

[RR]

I'm looking for a Perl script that will easily check ranges of IP
addresses that make it into DNSBLs, such as sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org and
bl.spamcop.net

I found RBLcheck and ARBLcheck

http://freshmeat.net/projects/rblcheck.pl/
http://www.unixwiz.net/tools/arblcheck.html

But unfortunately those don't allow me to put in ranges of IPs

Ideally, I'd like for these scripts to email me when there's a
violation. Any links to decent Perl mail scripts would be greatly
appreciated. Thus far, I've found

Don't multipost. It's rude.

I hope one of those will help you. You'll still have to know
some perl to use those modules.

Then change them to take a range of IP addresses and query each address
in the range. If you run into problems, feel free to ask questions. But
keep in mind that this is a discussion group for programmers, so while
you will almost certainly receive helpful (though not always polite)
comments on any code you have written, you probably won't get much help
if you are looking for ready-made solutions.

One other thing to consider: Some RBLs may consider it abuse if you
frequently check a large number of IP addresses. Some offer to send you
a notification if they list one of your addresses. Check the web sites
of the RBLs first!
