LF_EXIMSYNTAX and LF_IMAPD ignoring blocks

[Sergio]

In the server I have set:
RESTRICT_SYSLOG = 3
LF_TRIGGER = 0
LF_TRIGGER_PERM = 1
LF_SELECT = OFF

LF_EXIMSYNTAX = 10
LF_EXIMSYNTAX_PERM = 3600

LF_IMAPD = 10
LF_IMAPD_PERM = 1

But even with that set, /var/log/messages shows, please note that I don't have those IP white listed:

* SPOOFED IPs

This has been working before.

That is only going to happen if the IP address appears in either:

1. a local ignore
2. a global ignore
3. CC_IGNORE
4. csf.rignore as a domain
5. the IP is a local IP

either explicitly or as part of a CIDR.

That is only going to happen if the IP address appears in either:

1. a local ignore:
No it is not in a local ignore.

2. a global ignore:
No it is not in a global ignore.

3. CC_IGNORE:
Is empty.

4. csf.rignore as a domain:
Only google.com is on csf.rignore.

5. the IP is a local IP:
No, it is not a local IP.

6. either explicitly or as part of a CIDR:
In the server the only CIDR allowed are gmail IPs and the offending IPs are not from gmail.

Here is what CSF shows when searching for the IP:

Searching for 123.123.123.123...
Chain num pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
No matches found for 123.123.123.123 in iptables

IPSET: Set:cc_xx Match:123.123.123.123 Setting:CC_ALLOW_PORTS Country: XX

ip6tables:
Chain num pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
No matches found for 123.123.123.123 in ip6tables

...Done.

Under CC_ALLOW_PORTS_TCP/UDP only ports 20 and 21 are set and none of them are for Exim nor IMAP.

Something else that I should check?
