Okay, I see these messages, we use ORFEE and block 4000+ mails a day with it
(allow/block ratio ~12%).  John T is completely correct, you can't play the
game of blocking spam with your sonicwall (been there, done that myself).
To use a DNS block list, you had better have control of all your MX records.
Spammers tend to send directly to your secondary if you have one.

Thank you,

John, are you familiar with a product by www.vamsoft.com called ORFEE "Open
Filter Relay" Enterprise Edition. I just installed it on my Exchange Server
and for a novice like me I really like the ease of it. You can select
multiple blacklists. For me I'm blocking some 78% of mail.

WARNING, using a static list is asking for problems. As a e-mail
administrator, I deal with this stuff all day. Using a Static IP list is not
the way to go.
