NAME

Antispam::httpBL - Antispam checks using Project Honeypot's http blacklist

VERSION

version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

my $bl = Antispam::httpBL->new( access_key => 'abc123' );

my $result = $bl->check_ip( ip => '1.2.3.4' );

if ( $result->score() ) { ... }

DESCRIPTION

This module implements the Antispam::Toolkit::Role::IPChecker role using Project Honeypot's Http:BL API to check whether a given IP address is associated with spamming or email harvesting.

METHODS

This class provides the following methods:

Antispam::httpBL->new( access_key => ... )

This method constructs a new object. It requires an access key. You can get an access key from the Project Honeypot website at http://www.projecthoneypot.org/.

$bl->check_ip( ip => ... )

This method checks whether an ip address is associated with some sort of spam-related behavior.

It returns an Antispam::Toolkit::Result object.

While the Http:BL API allows for threat scores from 0-255, the result will contain a score from 0-10. This score is the Http:NL threat score divided by 7.5, and capped at 10.

The details in the result object will break down all the results returned by the Http:BL API.

BUGS

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-antispam-httpbl@rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

DONATIONS

If you'd like to thank me for the work I've done on this module, please consider making a "donation" to me via PayPal. I spend a lot of free time creating free software, and would appreciate any support you'd care to offer.

Please note that I am not suggesting that you must do this in order for me to continue working on this particular software. I will continue to do so, inasmuch as I have in the past, for as long as it interests me.

Similarly, a donation made in this way will probably not make me work on this software much more, unless I get so many donations that I can consider working on free software full time, which seems unlikely at best.
