Summary | 0008139: mxcheck - An email server scanner | ||||
Description | Hi, tool author and first-time Debian packager here. mxcheck is a an email server scanner. It checks dns entries, autonomous system, if it is listed by blacklists and if the server is an open relay. Development is happening on Github https://github.com/steffenfritz/mxcheck I created a package https://gitlab.com/fritzsf/mxcheck-debian. This is my first Debian package so expect two warnings from lintian: 1) There is a man page but dh is not adding it. Everything else looks good. Please check if mxcheck can be useful to the Kali community. Best regards, Steffen | ||||
Version 1.4.2 released. I am not updating the Debian package on Gitlab. If this package is one day of interest, I will create a package on Github and keep it in sync with the releases. |

Ola! If you would like mxcheck to be included in Kali, you should follow the template documented at https://www.kali.org/docs/tools/submitting-tools/, to provide us with basic information about the tool. It helps us to have a quick overview, and as we evaluate tool requests on a regular basis, we'll decided if yes or no we want to include it in Kali. The packaging part for this tool is trivial, bit even though, it doesn't mean that we want to include it in Kali. Packages need maintenance, from the moment we include it, we must maintain if and fix it if ever it breaks. Thanks! |
