Not sure if someone else is using spamhaus, but according to Spamhaus this test
should produce a True result, as you can see I don't get any response from
anyone.. maybe our firewall is blocking the traffic ? That might be something I
have to check ..

Many public DNS servers don't reply correctly about lookups at spamhaus. Make
sure you are getting your DNS info from your ISP, and not the free public
servers. (e.g. 8.8.8.8, 4.4.2.2. etc...)

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.
Thanks

Relying on RBL alone is not a sufficient way to combat SPAM. I use multiple
RBLs, RWLs, Vipre and Barracuda.

Tried to put this on exchange list, but keeps saying no attachments .. thought
I would try it here:
----------------------------
Exchange 2010 SP1 . 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<http://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<http://zen.spamhaus.org/>, said for
any response code (I didn't bother setting the different codes for now)
