ESET Mail Security on Exchange 2004 Not blocking Failed RDNS spam


Recommended Posts

Spam emails getting through with this headers:Received: from [171.234.173.26] ([171.234.173.26] RDNS failed) by mx.mail........com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.4675);

I can't find a setting on Eset Mail Security / Antispam engine setup, or any other place, to deny path to failed reverse-dns domains.

 

Does it exist within this product? Or is it part of the mail server?

hi ivanp74,

which version of EMSX do you use?

If you use 6.3+ then you can create a transport rule (Advanced setup/Server/Rules)
condition: Message headers contain "RDNS failed"
action: quarantine/drop/reject

If you use 6.4 then you can enable SPF

Awesome!

 

Upgraded.

 

SPF enabled didn't stop Failed RDNS emails.

I had to add a rule under Rules / Mail Transport Protection

It works as expected now.

 

Thanks a lot!

I'm starting to think blocking Failed RDNS is not such a good idea

 

"..from NAM02-BL2-obe.outbound.protection.outlook.com ([104.47.38.42] RDNS failed) by..."

 

 

RDNS is failing in from those server and a few more legit senders.  

 

I was hoping to trap the spammers, but the net is too wide, need something smaller.
