ahhh ... obviously a simple listing of open relay IP's would
be very useful to a person seeking to send wholesale email
without invitation. As such it is unusual to be able to
simply transfer all the IPs of open relays straight away.

(It is possible to get bulk transfers-- bulk transfers are
useful for statistical post-analysis. I am active with DSBL
from day one, and I sample and test DSBL results
systematically, as the third 'trusted' tester. Before that
for the former ORBZ, I did a 100% accuracy and rDNS
post-analysis which took 8 days, running flat out on one host
in fast bandwidth, for QA purposes.).

Rather, the RBL -- realtime black list -- DNS based
distribution method is used. Ask an IP, of a listing server,
and it will tell you if it is an open relay.

I also package, and have updated a one-off tester for such at:
   ftp.owlriver.com in /pub/local/ORC/rblcheck/
for anon. FTP retrieval. In honor of this thread, I have
updated the RBL list, and release: rblcheck-1.4-8rh

Here are my last 10 rejects:

[root@swampfox log]# grep -i eject maillog | grep -v connect | \
        awk {'print $10'} | grep -v reje | tr -d '][\,' | tail

200.23.246.162
200.171.128.31
64.214.162.30
64.37.207.36
24.232.154.184

(I enclose a HERE document, a do loop, and a backtick
expansion on a single logical command line for Smitty)

END
 ` ; do echo "-- $i " ; rblcheck $i | grep -v ^not ; host $i ; \
        echo " " ; done

Yields:

(Note that Verizon mailserver from earlier today is listed in
Spamcop, and ORDB as well as DSBL. Looks like these is an
issue there)

That set of reject accuracy post analysis looks pretty
reliable to me.
