I would like to enable DNS Blackist Filter in SMTP Inbound controls.

I would like some preconisation …

I choosed Enable

DNS Blacklist sites : I write … it is correct ?

http://mail-abuse.org/rbl/,

Spamhaus Blocklist (SBL) | IP DNSBL for effective email filtering,

http://www.ordb.org,

Action : “Log and Reject message”

In that’s all to protect with spam ?

Subject: “Enable” DNS Blacklist Filter …

yes that is how to enable blacklist filter, but what do you want to happen?

Do you want to reject the message or tagged the message that it was listed in a spam blacklist?

  1. DNS blacklists are not web sites. They are DNS zones. List them like so in DNS blacklist sites:

sbl.spamhaus.org; relays.ordb.org; … and so on

  1. Choose carefully.

The MAPS services (mail-abuse.org) are not free so won’t work for you unless you subscribe.

Many good lists are available free and you need to be prepared to do some experimentation.

I suggest you start with

sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org; list.dsbl.org

and add others as necessary.
