What it does is check a list of RBLs (defined in the head of the script)
and see how long they take to answer. If they go above a ceiling (also
defined in the head) it does not include them in the blacklists file
when it regenerates them.
I put up a quick posting about it on my site, and the file is also

Nice new site, Jake. I love the layout (especially the color scheme) much
better than the old one. Keep up the great work!

  
Thanks. Its still got some work to go, but it's coming along. I'll be 
back in town tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get some more done over the 
weekend.

I noticed a couple things: 


- dig times out at 5 seconds by default, so if anybody set CEILING at more than 
5 it will fail anyways, but you could set the +time=$CEILING option.

- If a DNSBL is offline, won't dig return instantly with a NXDOMAIN? I guess 
that doesn't matter since if a DNSBL is offline it won't effect anything. 
You're only looking for slow responses.

Thanks. It'll be a while for me to get all the scripts moved over, since 
I'm trying to put a lot of documentation in for the old ones.
And thanks for the dig timeout thing. I'd completely forgotten about 
that. It's been added, and the script should now be in Unix format. 
Still trying to figure out how that one happened, since I wrote it on a 
Cent4 machine I did have to download it to my XP machine so that I 
could upload it to the web site, so it must've happened somewhere in there.

Hi Jake,

Nice script!

One small thing, I downloaded this directly to a centos box using wget.
And that resulted in a dos lf file. So getting quite a few errors when you 
run it then.
I allready converted it using vi, but maybe you can put a unix lf version 
online instead.


Thanks for the script, testing it now.

Regards,

Jean-Paul
