Hi All,
We're wanting to move a bunch of our rather huge sendmail access files into bind compliant zone files. Does anyone have a tool that can do this in a slightly more automated way than our current options?
sendmail 8.13 will have TCP MAP. This means, instead of using .db files, you'll be able to redirect your queries to some "query server". This query server may be, e.g. a script which converts the query to DNS query. Check sendmail 8.13 alpha version. At contrib directory, there is a sample perl script to answer this kind of queries.
We're also looking for a tool to convert a domain list into our own surbl zone (for the moment private, but we may release it later) again any pointers greatly appreciated :-)
You can do that with a simple perl script. I've a 150 lines long to generate our private RBL with bind. If you want to do that with domain names instead of IP addresses, it will be shorter indeed.
I can send it to you if you want.
Best
