Hello Community,

An additional Work Around has been provided by GES.

Option 1:
Uncheck "Use recommended RBL" and enter in a custom RBL if necessary.
Do not use cbl.abuseat.org as a custom RBL at present if you use public DNS.
www.anti-abuse.org/.../ Contains a listing of common RBLs

Option 2:
Under Network Services>DNS>Request Routing add cbl.abuseat.org to the domain field and then either directly add the Spamhaus IP or an alternate DNS server to not forward this domain via public DNS.

Hello,

I am a little bit confused. We had the zen.spamhaus.org in our custom RBL not zen.spamHOUSE.org.

I think zen.spamhaus.org is the real problem with RBL because the rbl blockings are not only wiithspamhaus.org, also abuseat.org blocks the same ip addresses.

As you can read at abuseat.org

"IMPORTANT TO ALL CBL users: If you were using the CBL to filter access to your mail servers or anything else, you will need to take note of several changes to the CBL that occured in January 2021. In short, the CBL infrastructure was replaced by the Spamhaus XBL structure, the lookup pages and access methods have changed."

they changed their infrastructure to spamhaus.

Because of the fact that abuseat.org is in the recommended RBLs of sophos all utm customers run into the same problem.

So we disabled the recommendes rbl and used two other rbl lists as workaround.
