VERSION
version 1.08

SYNOPSIS
  use strict;

  die "Please provide at least one IP address to lookup\n" unless scalar @ARGV;

  my $dnsbl = POE::Component::Client::DNSBL->spawn();

        ],
        heap => {
                  addresses => [ @ARGV ],
                  dnsbl => $dnsbl
        },

  exit 0;

  sub _start {

     if ( $record->{error} ) {
        print "An error occurred, ", $record->{error}, "\n";
        return;
     }
     if ( $record->{response} eq 'NXDOMAIN' ) {
        print $record->{address}, " is okay\n";

DESCRIPTION
POE::Component::Client::DNSBL is a POE component that provides non-blocking DNS blacklist lookups to other components and POE sessions. It uses POE::Component::Client::DNS to perform the requested queries.

Only IPv4 lookups and URI/RHS lookups are supported and unless a DNSBL zone is specified the component will use zen.spamhaus.org.

CONSTRUCTOR

"spawn"
    Takes a number of parameters:

      'alias', set an alias that you can use to address the component later;
      'options', a hashref of POE session options;
      'dnsbl', the DNSBL zone to send queries to, default zen.spamhaus.org;
      'resolver', optionally provide a POE::Component::Client::DNS to use;

    Returns an object.

METHODS

"session_id"
    Takes no arguments. Returns the ID of the component's session.

"shutdown"
    Terminates the component.

"lookup"
    Performs a DNSBL lookup. Takes a number of parameters:

      'event', the name of the event to send the reply to. ( Mandatory );
      'address', the IPv4 address or domain to lookup ( Mandatory );
      'session', send the resultant event to an alternative session, ( default is the sender );

    You may also pass arbitary key/values. Arbitary keys should have an underscore prefix '_'.

    "event" may also be a POE::Session postback.

INPUT EVENTS

"shutdown"
    Terminates the component.

"lookup"
    Performs a DNSBL lookup. Takes a number of parameters:

      'event', the name of the event to send the reply to. ( Mandatory );
      'address', the IPv4 address or domain to lookup ( Mandatory );
      'session', send the resultant event to an alternative session, ( default is the sender );
      'dnsbl', optionally override the configured DNSBL for this particular lookup;

    You may also pass arbitary key/values. Arbitary keys should have an underscore prefix '_'.

    "event" may also be a POE::Session postback.

OUTPUT EVENTS
The component will send an event in response to "lookup" requests. "ARG0" will be a hashref containing the key/values of the original request ( including any arbitary key/values passed ).

If a POE::Session postback was specified, then the hashref will be the first parameter of the arrayref given as "ARG1"

  'response', the status returned by the DNSBL, it will be NXDOMAIN if the address given was okay;
  'reason', if an address is blacklisted, this may contain the reason;
  'error', if something goes wrong with the DNS lookup the error string will be contained here;
  'dnsbl', the DNSBL that was used for this request;
