Scratch that address - it's too early.  http://openrbl.org is the correct
address.  I even typed it into my browser correctly to test it and still
got it wrong in my post.

You might want to check http://openrbl.com with the IP address of the
sender of those "perfectly good" emails and see if they are listed and by
whom.  You should be able to drill down and find out why that particular
host is being listed from there.  If you are seeing a lot of your vendors
listed in spamhaus, then they have a problem.  Look them up at spamhaus and
find out why their listed -- you might be able to help them get de-listed
or at least give them useful information ("Dude, you're on the blacklist,
and this is why...")  We have been using spamhaus for a long time and to my
knowledge haven't had a single legitimate mail blocked by that list.  Or
the others, for that matter.

When you have spamhaus active, what did the stats say for the number of
hits?

I've been using the blacklist feature as illustrated below (as you can see,
we do not deal with the volumes you have, but it is none the less
annoying).  This is great, but I still get so many porn emails for one of
our users who inadvertently clicked in the wrong place once or twice, and I
currently have about 100 domains in my deny field and I am pretty sick of
opening the emails to see the address to block.  Do you have any ideas?
When I used spamhaus there were almost no emails coming through at all.
Everything was blocked.


 SMTP.DNSBL.bl.spamcop.net.Hits = 75
 SMTP.DNSBL.relays.ordb.org.Hits = 1
 SMTP.DNSBL.TotalHits = 76
 SMTP.MessagesProcessed = 128

What is the sequence for rejection?  Is the blacklist site the first
filter, and then any fields in the Restrictions and Controls, and then the
Rules?

And I've also had what are perfectly good emails rejected for policy
reasons, but I can't find out which policy they are being rejected for.

Any input would be appreciated.

Re: Blacklist statistics






Just thought I'd let you know how it's going:

SMTP.DNSBL.blackholes.easynet.nl.Hits = 737
SMTP.DNSBL.bl.spamcop.net.Hits = 665
SMTP.DNSBL.relays.ordb.org.Hits = 11
SMTP.DNSBL.sbl.spamhaus.org.Hits = 56
SMTP.DNSBL.TotalHits = 1469
SMTP.MessagesProcessed = 2296

Still seem to be getting my share of Nigerian Scams.
