E-mail servers and filters Tech SupportThey do find spam and plenty of it. We did notice that for some customers, the function seemed not to work. But a look at their log showed the problem right away. Assuming your DNS is working right, in almost every case, the firewall or proxy was to blame. What happens is that some of these proxies pose as the sending SMTP mail server to XWall or any other SMTP receiver down the line. That means the spam relays check the address of your proxy or SMTP firewall, not the original sender.
