rejected RCPT - reason="rbl"

Hello everyone, so I've setup MailEnable mail server, really straightforward with one mailbox.

 

I managed to setup smart host on the UTM which now sending emails out from the UTM for outbound emails and domain routing with my domain name which I believe for my inbound emails. I can see emails hitting the UTM in and out and antivirus/spam work right.

 

But I have a problem :(

 

If I tick "Use recommended RBLs" under Antivirus tab which is the most important method of protection I don't get any email. Emails coming from Hotmail or Gmail or anything else hit my UTM and get rejected because of rbl..How come when they are not listed defiantly??? For example:

If I uncheck the "Use recommended RBLs" option I receive emails fine but I need to use RBL. Even if I use one single spam provider UTM still rejects it.
 
Why emails won't pass through if there is rbl check??
 
 
Hope someone can help me...
 
Thank you.

  • 40.92.253.98 is on a blacklist, whether it is still on "cbl.abuseat.org" or not, I don't know.  Instead of the recommended RBLs, you might want to use bl.spamcop.net, zen.spamhaus.org and xyz.bl.yodbl.net.

    UPDATE 2019-06-07: Yesterday, xyz.bl.yodbl.net was apparently hacked as many IPs were added to it that are NOT spam IPs.  Outlook.com?  Ridiculous.  Remove it if you have it.

    Cheers - Bob
