I don't recognize those lines, but it suggests that something tested the above RBLs and timed out (ie: got no answer back either way). I know spamhaus has a policy of blocking high-volume sites that are using their RBL without a subscription. abuseat and njabl might be doing the same, as they are essentially feed providers for spamhaus's xbl. (note it's extraordinarily wasteful DNS wise to use those 3 separately. One query to zen.spamahaus.org would effectively cover all three). My question is, why would your outlook rules block something on just a timeout event? > > Now these emails are by no means spam- they are from the university > labmanagers listserve- >
