    Hi, as you will see on the pic I attach, since I installed my brand new spanish version of ESS (3.0.645) I found that the Blacklist in the Antispam Module is NOT working. According to the Statistics ant the module, I have recieved 1838 Mails, and 1510 (82.15%) of them have been spam, and althow I have a pretty populated blacklist, the statistics say it has blocked 0% of all spam, and what is more frustrating is that I see spam from some of those blacklisted addresses everyday!!!!
    Anyone has a clue about this??

    It works here like a charm. Please make sure that the email address you've added to the blacklist does not exist in the whitelist which takes precedence over the blacklist. Note that the antispam module adds email addresses from the address book as well as sent messages to the whitelist automatically by default. For instance, if you'd like to test the blacklist feature with your own email address you should disable these options first.

    Thanks for the quick response Marcos. I checked the status of both white list and blacklist before posting and there are no dupplicate addresses on either of them, the blacklist is simply not working, and I have no idea why.
    I will try emptying my Outlook contacts and see what happens and/or eventualy rebuild both lists but I'm telling you it's a piccle!!

    Today I did a full reset of the AntiSpam module in ESS. Cleared the counters and all Black and White lists.
    Started Outlook and cleared all addresses Secure and Blocked.

    AND STILL THE BLACLIST DOES NOT WORK!! How is this possible?? 0 mesages classified as spam and I had a blacklist of over 300 spam addresses!!

    Done. No. I made sure of that before posting. Sory but I really don't know how to explain this behavior.
