RBls behine the firewall

[Mudasar]

Hi,

We are getting very high spams volume, I have few questions regarding RBLS access behind the firewall, i have added the following RSLs in web interface

dnsbl.njabl.org
cbl.abuseat.org
bl.spamcop.net
zen.spamhaus.org
relays.mail-abuse.org

Please let me know which ports should i open to access these RBL sites.

You shouldn't need to open any ports if your server can do an internet DNS lookup.

Thanks for your quick reply,

For outbound traffic we have opened only 53(DNS) and 25(smtp) ports.
How does it possible that it only 53 port required to access external RBLS.

If you can do an external lookup then you do not need any additional ports, you already have the correct port open.
