I would like to check the IP address of a device in PRTG against blacklist servers like sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, bl.spamcop.net, dnsbl.njabl.org, list.dsbl.org and multihop.dsbl.org.

I want to use this feature to be informed whenever my own IP address will be blacklisted.

blacklist dnsbl mail prtg smtp spam

This is possible with the new Custom Sensor: IPonDNSBL

IPonDNSBL checks a IP-Address against a number of blacklist servers and returns the number of DNS Blacklists the IP-Address is on.

IPonDNSBL -ip=mail.paessler.com [-bl=bl.spamcop.net]

Enter your hostname or IP-addres behind the "-ip=" parameter.

The "-bl=" parameter is optional. You can provide a comma seperated list of blacklist servers. If omitted, the following blacklist servers are used: sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, bl.spamcop.net, dnsbl.njabl.org, list.dsbl.org and multihop.dsbl.org

The readme.txt (included in the download) provides a list of optional blacklist servers.

The Custom Sensor can be downloaded from this page
