hi,
as a user, I just switched completely to Linux.
Today, apart games, all kind of apps exist and are more powerfull or easily for Linux, so I do not miss Win32.

The major loss, is Complainterator that is only for Win32 platform. My spam grown to 4 times than before.

I want to write a bash script in GPL licence that do in batch mode, what Complainterator do interactively.
This leave the user free to do what he want with him PC, while the script recover the whois data for all the spam and fill the complaint mails. Whois client is embedded in Linux.
As Bash is already ported to MacOS and Win32, that script will be crossplatform.

What is stopping me is the DNS traversal that I cannot reproduce with Linux.
Someone know more about Whois, nslookup, dig and host client options? and specially DNS or named internals?

It is possible to take the Name Server domains from the captured output of either

dig +trace spammed domain ns
host -t ns spammed domain

The traversal ensures that you are not picking up cached values that can be out of date - but that is rare.

attached the first alpha version of the bash script.
From a spamvertized URL, it recover registrars emails and DNS registrars emails.
It miss the compose email part, but will be in the next alpha.

as in all GNU GPL General Pubblic License project, the everyone contribute in developing is well accepted.
The only must is to redistribute the source code.

Thanks a ton for making a Linux version.

When I opened the xComplaintContact.txt on a Debian Etch machine running gvim 7.0.235, kernel 2.6.18-6-686, locale en_US.UTF-8, I see seeing lines such as


?????????? ~ zbtec@zbtec.cn
?????????????? ~ sales@sfn.cn
?????????????? ~ service@ce.net.cn
????????????(?????) ~ info@cqhot.cn


Looks like an encoding problem. Can you please use UTF encoding or something better? If it is a problem on my side, please let me know.

opss...
I cannot substitute the attached file of the prev message.
So I attach a bugfixed x.xx.01 version with contact file in UTF-8

I test xComplaint on:

- Ubuntu Debian Linux Kernel 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux with GNU bash, version 3.2.25(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
- Cygwin 1.5.25-11 release Mar 9 2008 on WinXP 32bit

Looking for a MacOS tester

here the alpha Version 0.03.01
Now it send a complaint mail for spamvertized domain only.
Next version send complaint also for NS.

# - parsing parameter for URL
# - prepare the complaint email for domain
# - send complaint for domain mail with a SMTP server/account
# Fixed:
# - use dig when host fail to recover NS
# - skip emailCc when not present for registrar

If you want to send automatically the complaint email, sure you have to fill your name and email between "" in the script in the line:

export userMail="Name Surname <email@domain.tld>" # user email

and the smtp server name in the line:

export userSmtp="smtp.domain.tld" # user smtp server

Plase check the mail content and be sure it is logical, before hit a key to send the complaint.

Here the alpha Version 0.04.01
Now it send a complaint mail also for NS1.

Ver.0.04.02 brake compatibility with Cygwin, as on cygwin the 'host' command used for recovering IP address aren't ported.
There are only the old one 'nslookup'.
In the next version I try to parse the verbose nslookup output to fix this.

I tested on:
Cygwin 1.5.25-11 release Mar 9 2008 on WinXP 32bit
with GNU bash, version 3.2.33(1-release (i686-pc-cygwin)

Here a bugfix version 0.04.03
# Fix: do not look for IP when host is ""
# Fix: MX record: ns1.poweekeig.com [211.49.115.50 handled] in IP check
# Fix: skip try send complaint when To: contain "***_PASTE_INTO_http"
# Fix: skip try send complaint when not found a registrarTo in contactFile.
# Fix: sometimes 'host' go in timeout and Name Servers was: "out;"
