DNS Blacklist score zero when SpamHaus lists as blocked
Posted: 2017-02-20 17:23
Hello,
I have a situation where many spam emails are coming through recently. I ran through the settings the see if something was missing but what I have found is that emails from domains that SpamHaus has listed are not triggering an increase in score. As an example, the information below is from the log file.
"SMTPD" 2220 236042 "2017-02-20 15:10:21.285" "74.63.250.108" "RECEIVED: MAIL FROM:<Neuropathy_Treatment_Group@reject.qhigain.us>"
"DEBUG" 2220 "2017-02-20 15:10:21.285" "Spam test: SpamTestDNSBlackLists, Score: 0"
"DEBUG" 2220 "2017-02-20 15:10:21.285" "Spam test: SpamTestHeloHost, Score: 0"
"DEBUG" 2220 "2017-02-20 15:10:21.285" "Spam test: SpamTestMXRecords, Score: 0"
"DEBUG" 2220 "2017-02-20 15:10:21.285" "Spam test: SpamTestSPF, Score: 0"
"DEBUG" 2220 "2017-02-20 15:10:21.285" "Total spam score: 0"
If I go to mxtoolbox.com and enter "reject.qhigain.us" SpamHaus shows this as listed. In my mind, the SpamTestDNSBlackLists score should be equal to what I have entered for SpamHaus (5). Am I understanding the system operation incorrectly please?.
I have attached some screen shots below.
