I post also here, a version of Complainterator crossplatform, thinked to work on Linux, but work on every platform with a complete GNU/Posix environment.
As example I also test it with Cygwin on WinXP, but should work on Solaris or MacOS X.

It is written as a Bash scri_pt, so you have no GUI.
The scri_pt is written under the GNU/GPL license so, as everytime other developer are wellcomed.
My thanks to tembow for the idea and many explanations on domain name system
In my experience, it cutted my spam from 20 a day, to 5 a day. It carry my time around spam to near 0.


Invocation:
If run with a parameter, will be interpretated as a URL, and complaint for this.
It recover Registrar, Name Servers, Registrar Name Server, and send all the complaints emails for the spammed domain.

If run without parameter, it download all the spam from an IMAP4 account, from a particular spam folder.
spam should be moved there before by a Bayesian filter like the one included in Mozilla, that after a week of training, indentify 100% of spam with 0% false positive, carrying away from your eyes all the spam.
Then it analyze the spam (decoding as appropriate) to find the URL, and complaint for all the founded URL.
It can follow some simple redirect URL and complaint also for those.
Then it parse again the mail to find scam email, and complaint also for those.
Last, it forward the spam to a configured email like spamcop or knujon.
My suggestion is to use in tandem with Spamcop as are complementary solutions.
This version send complaint emails with domain in obfuscated [dot] format for some Registrars.
Initially are Beijing and Hichina, you can add more in 'RegistrarObfuscated.txt' file.


Take care of configure your user IMAP and SMTP mail account inside the scri_pt.
In particular correctly fill the string 'userMail' with <email>
Example:
userMail="Name <yourEmail[at]domain.tld>"
as some SMTP server require the <>
From this version you can (optional) use an external mail server configuration file.
It must be called 'xComplaintConfig.txt' and should be in this format:




The Registrar list is exacly the same as:
http://www.spamtrackers.eu/downloads/Compl...lainterator.txt
but with unix style new line, sorted alphabetically, and with no line ending space.
Unfortunately the search algoritm is really slow. Need a new version in C language with a GUI in GTK+.


The scri_pt depend on the following external tools executables:




On Windows you have to install Cygwin with standard package, plus whois, wget, inettools (for telnet), fetchmail, dos2unix, base64, and iconv.
More you have to install the package 'dig' from:
http://members.shaw.ca/nicholas.fong/dig/
as isn't included in Cygwin.


The package can be downloaded from:
http://www.castlecops.com/p1110770-Complai...ux.html#1110770

I was experimenting with V.0.10.20 2008/09/09 and found out that you are using telnet in the scri_pt as in

if (test 0 == "$debug") then
cat sendoutDoma.txt | telnet $userSmtp 25
cat mailoutDoma.txt >> complaints.txt
echo "====================================================" >> complaints.txt
echo Mail sended. Exit.
else
echo Mail not sended. Exit.
fi


Is there no other alternative available (like ssh)? Telnet is supposed to be insecure and not all the Linux systems I know have telnet installed.

hth
raju

the problem is the SMTP server.
Most I know, at ISO/OSI level 5, use simple un-encripted, un-autenticated, telnet connection on TCP port 25.
Exist ESMTP, SMTP/TLS and SMTP-AUTH (ESMTPA) protocol, but which provider use it?
Most provider check only the domain part of the sender email, and the direct connection to block relaing, but no real autentication or encription are used.
Try your SMTP server, it accept ssh connection? If yes, surely you can substitute telnet with ssh in the scri_pt.
Let me know if it work. If yes, please tell me which kind of SMTP server is.

Another solution may be to use 'exim' (or 'ssmtp' or 'msmtp') available everywhere. At simple level they do a telnet on port 25, but can also support all types of encription.

hi all,
it's ready a new bugfix version of xComplaint bash scri_pt.

This include a speedup written in C, stolen from the compiled counterpart that is slowly growing. Now the Registrar contact search is 60 times faster.
The report now include the Domain creation data, usefull to add evidence of just registered domain
You can now pass an argument with a file as raw spam mail, usefull for mail web access.
The complaint now are more similar to Complainterator V22.8
You now can send complaints with a different account from the one you are receiving spam. The xComplaintConfig.txt file has changed the name of some variables to handle this little complex configuration.
The scri_pt do an external command dependancy compliance check before start

Next version will support SSL/TLS SMTP authenticated encripted send (using 'msmtp'), usefull for Gmail account.

Here the changelog:


The new format of 'xComplaintConfig.txt' configuration file is:

hi,
it's time for a major update, as I added lot of new functionalities.
The most interesting one is support for Google/Gmail account SSL/TLS encripted+authenticated complaint emails SMTP send, via 'msmtp'.
(I again little changed the format of xComplaintConfig.txt file to support encription+authentication).
Another interesting new funzionality, add redirected links to email body before forward, this to cheat spammer, and to keep track of spamvertized redirections.
Let manually add a domain for uncatched redirections.
xComplaint now ask one more confirmation, when domain/NS creation date is older than 7 months (configurable)
The links and email estraction is reworked. Is now easy add fake scam email and trusted web site to external config files.
Do not complaint for domain with IP 22.22.22.22 or 44.44.44.44
When found more than one "Registrar:" show a WARN, and get the last (and not the first), this work correct on most domains
General speedup, lot of bug fixes, lot of updated in contact files

Here the complete change log:


Here the new format of 'xComplaintConfig.txt':

This sounds an awful lot like a violation of the Reporting Rules .... specifically, "adding data to the spam content that the parser would not discover on its own" Please see Material changes to spam

if you do not want this functionality, simply delete lines from 2193 to 2225 in xComplaint V.0.11.23 2009/07/10,
there are comments explaining this in the code.
The scri_pt is in GNU/GPL opensource license, so you are invited (and encouraged) to modify
the sources for your needs, with two unique requisite: that you pubblish the modified version again in GPL license, and attribute the original author.

hi,
I integrated the hard follow redirection and so a new major update: xComplaint V.0.12.24a 2009/09/23
It download html, parse the code to find redirection to real spammer web site.
Support for no check of SMTP server certificate with "--tls-certcheck=off"
Configurable retry times on SMTP send failure
xComplaint now use OpenDNS when other dig queries fail
finished to write and integrate the manual pages. See it with --help
Officially support for andlinux.org as preferred solution against cygwin on Win32
Obfuscation is now with -dot- as work with @reg.ru
Sources of emailSearch binary are provided in the package
Now domain age calculation work as expected, lot of date format supported!
Synch of contact files with xComplaint 22.15

Here the complete changelog:

Thanks efa! You probably don't get the recognition you deserve but I'm sure many Linux users are grateful.

I see that previous version was downloaded 55 times, and this is enough.
Hoping someone else want to collaborate enhancing the scri_pt, maybe with "unique domain sorting" and not unique url sorting as is now. This avoid to ask for reporting for every url when the spamvertized domain is the same. Now I'm developing an anti-phish application
