[RFCI-Discuss] Need a bot to check addresses

Greetings.

I've encountered a spammer who has registered over 550 domain names which I 
want to list on RFC-Ignorant.  I've used some shell scripts to 
semi-automatically check the presence of postmaster and abuse accounts on 
about 50 of them.  The remaining 500 are split across 6 mail exchangers, 
all from the same company.  Their mail servers are set up so that there is 
a 5- to 20-second delay after each RCPT command.

Needless to say, I don't want to sit in front of a telnet window for three 
hours typing RCPT commands.  Is there some bot which I can feed a mail 
server and a list of addresses to check (or better yet, simply a list of 
addresses -- let the bot look up the mx record on its own!), and which 
will log all the applicable communication with the mail server so that I 
can e-mail it to submit-{postmaster|abuse}@rfc-ignorant.org?

Regards,
Tristan
