senderbase
Name
senderbase - Gives the current SenderBase reputation for a mail host.
SenderBase is a mail server reputation service run by Cisco. It’s basically a measure of how likely or unlikely they think it is for the server in question to be sending spam, rated on a scale of -10 (near-100% chance of spam) to 10 (near-0% chance of spam). The SenderBase score for a server is one of several criteria that may be used when doing spam filtering; consequently, it’s useful for the operator of a mail server to track their current reputation score.
Configuration
By default, the script will use the first IP address returned by
hostname -I
. If that’s not the right address to use, set the
ip_address
environment variable to the appropriate value. (Note that
if a host has multiple IP addresses, there’s no guaranteed ordering for
hostname -I
, so you should set the address explicitly in that case.)

senderbase - Gives the current SenderBase reputation for a mail host.
SenderBase is a mail server reputation service run by Cisco. It's
basically a measure of how likely or unlikely they think it is for the
server in question to be sending spam, rated on a scale of -10 (near-100%
chance of spam) to 10 (near-0% chance of spam). The SenderBase score for
a server is one of several criteria that may be used when doing spam
filtering; consequently, it's useful for the operator of a mail server to
track their current reputation score.
=head1 CONFIGURATION
By default, the script will use the first IP address returned by
C<hostname -I>. If that's not the right address to use, set the
C<ip_address> environment variable to the appropriate value. (Note that
if a host has multiple IP addresses, there's no guaranteed ordering for
C<hostname -I>, so you should set the address explicitly in that case.)
