RBL Blacklist behaviour?

Kevin Boyle
 

This is one of the SMG monitoring gadgets I created a month ago.

This is my filter

For quite some time now I was getting very few hits on my RBL filters then today I noticed an exceptionally large number of messages being blocked. Of course, I have made no changes to my system. :-)

Has anyone else noticed similar behaviour?

    Not sure if its related, but we also started seeing a bunch of anti-virus alerts start appearing recently (March 31).

    We did replace the proxy on our router (which did upstream AV scanning) a couple of weeks before that (with a simple packet filter which does not), but the SMG AV alerts did NOT coincide with that change.  Only recently did we actually start getting alerts...

    (Normally AV scanning in BOTH locations would be desirable, but we continually had issues with SMG shutting down SMTP connections while it waited for the router to buffer up the message so the router could scan it.  I got tired of increasing the SMG protocol timeout to chase this...)
