Yes, we are using multiples , when I test a few of the known IP's from Spamhaus it fails all lookups, which is why I think its not working at all. Spamhaus was the one I was testing independently, and sending the email test, and the ip lookup test from exchange shell results in false (no response) even though Spamhaus says its listed. Im testing some of the other agents now just to see if any of them are functioning.
I also signed up for the free Barracuda RBL to try that one too.

We dropped anti-spam and put spamhaus and spamcop on and enabled. We are still seeing a lot of junk coming through, I went in to test spamhaus and no matter what I do the mail passes. I sent a test email to their system and it didn't reject it. When I do a ping or nslookup on zen.spamhaus.org I get nothing in DNS. I tried a couple of external DNS servers with the same results. Im on Spamhaus' site and don't see anything about them being down... a couple of other providers seem to be working ok (I can at least ping/nslookup) the server. Maybe Im doing something incorrect: I added the filter, did zen.spamhaus.org, said for any response code (I didn't bother setting the different codes for now) ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
