I have moved the weight of the RBLs including Spamcop and Zen to 30.
Hopefully this will cut it back although at the moment I am still getting
mail through.
Dave,
SpamCop and Zen won't block all the spam... but, along the lines of what
I said previously, if this adjustment in scores doesn't cause a dramatic
improvement from what you've have been describing, then the problem
isn't with these blacklists. The problem would then be that something in
your configuration and/or spam software and/or mail server and/or DNS
server is just plain broken.
Is this a shared hosting account, or do you control the whole server?
What I'm getting at is... do you have "remote desktop" (or equivalent)
access to the server?
What platform? (windows? unix?)
If "yes", then I suggest first figuring out what DNS server your
SmarterMail program is using and then see if direct queries to the
looksups I've already verified as listed really do work. That would be a
good place to start.
(when doing lookups, reverse the IP)
for example, 127.0.0.1 would be:
1.0.0.127.bl.spamcop.net
and
1.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org
(replace with those IPs you gave as examples... and depending on which
list I said that an IP was listed on)
Also, look in SmarterMail to see if there is a place where you can
specify the DNS server.
