Greetings,
So i have this DNSBL:

Code:
bl.spamcop.net,zen.spamhaus.org,dnsbl.sorbs.net,rhsbl.sorbs.net,db.wpbl.info,b.barracudacentral.org,psbl.surriel.com,dnsbl.nijabl.org,,gterin.com.ua,in.ua,bankpersiy.com.ua,barbakan.com.ua,bioco.kiev.ua,dnsbl-1.uceprotect.net,ix.dnsbl.manitu.net,truncate.gbudb.net,multi.uribl.com

As you can see sorbs is on 3rd position.
DSBL Threshold i have 5.

I know this is spam but why it is rejected by sorbs if i have threshold 5? And each DNSBL have no multiplication which should be 1 right?
Code:
Sep 24 21:44:09 pmg postfix/postscreen[40961]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from [114.237.154.241]:4651: 550 5.7.1 Service unavailable; client [114.237.154.241] blocked using dnsbl.sorbs.net; from=<fxkhro@mrhc.com>, to=<xxxxxx>, proto=ESMTP, helo=<mrhc.com>

Thank you
 
DNSBL work by calculating hits based on your DNSBL sites and threshold.
You can check your hits by running "cat /var/log/mail.log | grep 114.237.154.241"

https://multirbl.valli.org/lookup/114.237.154.241.html

Below is my result of some blocked DNSBL hit with threshold of 2.

Code:
