command line spam database checking tool

I have been trying to find some type of a command line tool that checks ip's or blocks of ip's against a group of popular public spam databases like you can do on dnsstuff.com or other sites. Does anyone know of such a program?

There is one built into just about every mta.

If you wish to write a shell script it would be very easy to do since you can just use the bind-utils lookup tools for each blacklist. (they will respond directly to dns requests whether they have the IP listed or not)
