Spam messages from blocked ip range still gets through

eyos

Hello,

We have blocked single ip addresses and also ip ranges (SMTP Network Blacklist). However we noticed that spam messages still getting through or being quarantined. Those Phishing messages are usually sent from the ip network clodoserver.ru or other Russian spam networks. It looks like they are abusing good sender domains for their phishing attacks.

How can we completely block ALL spam activity from 62.76.184.0/21? Why do spammer still bypass Sophos UTM Antispam, although the ip range 62.76.184.0/21 has been blocked? Blocking various IP's is working, however it is always being ignored for 62.76.184.0/21. I have attached the mail header.

I highly appreciate any help.

    As you already noticed, "they" use other (innocent) mailservers to relay mail to you. So "blocking" ip addresses does not help against SMTP sebders you don't like. This is because of the envelope that mail gets there.

    Please show us (screnshots) how ypou "block" those IP addresses.

    Thanks for your reply. IPs are added to a separate group in Email Protection > SMTP > Network Blacklist (see Screenshot from below). It's working for most spammers, but does not work for these spammer pattern from above. I have reported multiple times spam messages to is-spam@labs.sophos.com to no avail. What else can I do? Expression Filters will decrease performance and will require constant adjustments.

    As said, IP blocking does not help here.

    Expression filter would do, despite the Performance impact you see.
