sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org possible false positives

Has anyone noticed potential false positives linked to sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org today?

I noticed "Rejected: RBL (sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org)" in the SMTP log for legitimate mail originating from yahoo.com and optonline.net. I sent simple test messages from my yahoo.com mail account to the mail server behind the Astaro SMTP security wall; the first message was nailed by the spamhaus RBL flag, the second message sent 15 minutes later passed.

Legitimate mail received yesterday from optonline.net is getting nailed by the spamhaus RBL flag today.

  • The new IPS ruleset is a bit more vigorous than prior to 7.5, so that's the first place to look.

    Up2Date to 7.501.  Check your IPS log to see if it is blocking something.  Maybe DNS.  The disable the SID on the 'Advanced' tab of IPS.
