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. >My question is, why would your outlook rules block something on just a >timeout event? Its not blocking its only flagging message that contain the word(s) njabl and /or zen in the header- I was thinking of blocking messages at the MTA level- so I was just testing to see if any legit emails hit that rule- As far as what you mentioned - >(note it's extraordinarily wasteful DNS wise to use those 3 separately. >One query to zen.spamahaus.org would effectively cover all three). I have the default settings in SA- how would I go about just having it do a single query to zen as you noted?
