Three Days missing email lost after trasnfer from ISP Backup - Exchange 2007

Our server was down for three days, on boot up, our ISP had a large amount of email they had captured during teh down period.

When it did not come, they said it was being refected due to spam. I turned off all teh GFI spam services, and within a couple of hours they said all teh mail had transfered.

We have not received any of the email at the workstations (Outlook 2007).

I can not find it queued up anywhere.

Where might the email be in holding???

From Fiday night - Tuesday morning - the whole period server was down and teh ISP was collecting.

After thay said the handoff was complete, we still had no mail that represented the down period.

Additional info:

I spoke to ISP again this morning, and they said that they had ~92 emails that they had collected from Fri-Mon.

Once we came online, they said they got reject messages due to to spam filtering, and aksed me to add their ip range to my whitelist.

I have GFI Mail Essentials, and that was an easy change...

But I would alo like to add their server range to Exchange 2007 as a whitelisted source.

Using EMC, Under Server Config, Hub Transport, Default (SBS-08-SERVER), properties, network, I added thier range to the "Receive mail from remote servers that have these ip addresses"

Under Exchange 2007 Management Shell I added teh following command:

   Add-IPAllowListEntry -IPRange 204.130.255.1/24

It confirmed the entry and listed expired as false..

Should this kkep the server from rejecting email directly from the ISP after a down period???  

I am going to test late tomorrow night, but want to be sure I have covered the bases...
