I am new to the list.

This is on OS-X Server 10.6.3 on an Xserve with postfix 2.5.5 that came
with the system.


I have a situation where using zen.spamhaus.org , spam gets through
despite zen saying that IP is bad.

here is a sample error message:

connect from cpe-67-252-139-22.buffalo.res.rr.com [67.252.139.22]

nslookup 22.139.252.67.zen.spamhaus.org

Non-authoritative answer:

Address: 127.0.0.4


Is it possible that the postfix software barfs when the RBL lookup
returns multiple responses and lets the messsage through ?

Is there a way to fix this (other than removing zen and adding the
individual lists it contains)  ?


This is a low volume server. And if I exceeded my daily quota, wouldn't
the nslookup command also fail ?
