Blacklist blocking is a function of the email proxy, not of DNS (the information is served by DNS, but requested by the email proxy).
Filters /always/ come before services (which is why you must have a filter in place to use the email proxy, inbound tunnels, etc).
I'm using dul.dnsbl.sorb.net which is a list of dynamic IP ranges used by ISP for dialup/xDSL/Cable. I also defined my own list with GB object addresses and a filter on port 25. My own filter comes before the filter used by the SMTP proxy. If I place the SMTP proxy filter before my own filter will this also change the order of checking (so the DNS-BL's defined in the SMTP proxy are checked before my own filter)?
Mmm.... since the filter for the SMTP proxy is an 'allow' type my own 'deny' filter for port 25 won't even be het would it?
