Hello everyone,
Don't know if I should post this on Email protection but I'll start here as the issue is also firewall related.
I am receiving tons of spam daily (bulk email) and the RBLs are not doing a good job, so I created a rule to block a "spamsenders" group I created.
I am adding to this group the IP addresses that this spam is coming from but no connections are being rejected. I can still see email coming through from these IPs that I blocked on the rule.
The rule is: spam_senders_group --> any_service --> all_my_externalIPs action: reject and it is on the top of the rules.
Is Email processing happening before the firewall rules??
I would doubt it as I have the country blocking enabled and I can see traffic coming to my SMTP port being blocked by the "country blocked" rule.
What am I missing?
I have a ASG220 version 9.204-20.
Thanks for any input!
