DROP IP range not working when specifying IP address from SPAM senders

Endian 3.0 Dev (community) I have been battling spam senders using an address like nn.nn.0.0/16 as a sole entry at the top of the firewall rules.  They still keep coming in.  The firewall is the mail proxy and has been working fine but I cannot stop this one range of IPs sending repeated crap to us.

It is set properly as Any Uplink, Any Service, Access from: 207.188.0.0/16, NAT:NAT, Filter Policy: DROP.

Does not have any effect.  Is the proxy overriding the firewall rules?

This is still not working at all.  I put individual entries in the firewall at the top to block, for example 173.233.0.0/16 and the emails keep right on flowing through the proxy on the firewall from that IP address.

Can anyone respond on this?  They're driving me nuts.  Does this not work?  Am I doing this correctly?

It does now seem to work - takes some time before it seems to stop the IP.  Not immediate like I would think.
