Anti-Spam & Mail block list not working

[king_slavcho]

Hello friends, I wanted to ask you if someone knows why my Anti Spam and Mail Block List is not working? I insert the mails that have to be blocked but the list is not working.. I save it there and than install the policy to my gateways that are in front of my mail server. Is there anything else i have to do in order for this block list to start blocking mails?

The version is 81.10 and firewall appliances are Check Point Quantum 6400

Could you please share some additional information like version / type of appliance / diagram etc.

Are the mail servers using SMTP or SMTP (TLS) ?

I wrote the info required above.. The mail server is using SMTP TLS 1.2. Will attach the network diagram if you want also. Thank you

Is the Gateway configure as an MTA with the TLS certificates?

There are two ways to do SMTP handling on a gateway. AntiSpam blade and ThreatPrevention blade. More informations are needed of your configuration. Is AntSpam blade used and activated, are the directions and/or hosts from/to to scan set correct?

If only encrypted SMTP traffic traversing the gateway you cant‘t block mail addresses…
As I wrote, more information are really helpfully.

The content based and IP reputation spam is set to work on high protection with spam confidence on 90.

The block list has domains and mail but does not work.. I do not know what is the connection between the block list and the content based and ip reputation anti spam filter..

Also checked on the gateways if the blade is working and there it says that its working..

The SMTP and POP3 traffic is set to be scanned by mail direction..
