Ricochet

A lot of unsolicited email goes unreported because tracing the origins of a possibly forged mail and finding the right people to report to, is complicated and time-consuming. Ricochet, a smart net agent, automates this process.

Ricochet project traces the names and addresses of the systems where the spam originated from along with the servers that provide domain name resolution services to these systems (in most cases their ISPs). Then it collects/generates a list of email addresses of tech/billing/admin/abuse contacts of these system and mails them a complaint and a copy of the spam.

Requirements:

• Net::XWhois
• Net::DNS
• Mail::Internet
• Text::Template
• LWP::UserAgent
