maps-gather - Gather evidence associated to a MAPS complaint
maps-gather [-h] [-v] [-r relay] -s report-email
This script is used to request the evidence that MAPS keeps associated with a listing of an open relay, spam source, etc. The evidence is formatted so as to keep the original complaint and all the evidence in a single message and then it is forwarded to the designated contact address.
Normally, abuso would let the MAPS compalints in the directory where empty reports are sent. You could then use maps-gather to re-feed a more documented report to your abuso engine.

In general, it is not polite to send large numbers of queries to a host, as this might be interpreted as an attack. Use this scipt judiciously and avoid long and repeated queries.
Note that mail-abuse.org / mail-abuse.com has a limit on the number of queries allowed per hour. If you need to scan an address block using this tool, you should probably use a delay of a few minutes between queries, using the -d option.
The following options are recognized:
Outputs this documentation.
Be verbose about progress.
The relay server to use in order to send the email message with the complaint and the evidence. Defaults to 'mail'.
Specify the RFC-822 address that the email is going to be sent to.
