Ah, maybe they're looking at all the headers, which is really stupid!
Oh so then this is completely something configured wrong on their end
using Microsoft Exchange, right? I just sent email from the same IP to
my personal and friends Postfix mail servers who both use RBL checks
to zen.spamhaus.org and they passed through fine.

Can I ask what the normal procedure is for mail? If the latter IP is
listed on a PBL but the last received IP is not, does it then allow?
Does Postfix only look at the the most recent received client IP for
RBL checks and thats all?


- for rejections, the PBL shouldn't be used to check IPs found in headers at all.

- for filtering, the PBL should only be used on the last "untrusted" IP (so you parse received headers from top to bottom and stop at the first IP you don't "trust"). but in this case, mail should not be bounced, because that causes backscatter. Think what happens if you forge the sender address and try to send again. the bounce will be received by an innocent!


For the official policy, see http://www.spamhaus.org/pbl/
