RBL not blocking all the emails that is on the blacklist

Hello everyone,

I have zen.spamhaus.org setup on the edge server and it seems to be blocking a lot of spams. However, some emails is still passing through the blaklist even though on the test-ipblocklistprovider show that the IP is on the blacklist.

Please, see the email below that was supposed to be blocked but it was not:

Hi  Sneeff_Gabor,

Actually, the information above was taken from the AgentLog, which show "AcceptMessage". However, on the test-ipblocklistprovider  shows that the IP should have been blocked.

Thanks,

Hi Flavio,

Please check if this IP address is included IP Allow list entry which is used by the Connection Filtering agent on Edge Transport servers:

Get-IPAllowListEntry -IPAddress 107.158.253.253

Hello Niko, I didn't setup ipallowlistentry neither ipallowlistprovider.

Please, see the example below where the same IP was blocked and was skipped by the ipblocklistprovider:
