My impression of it has always been that it is a "pay to get whitelisted" system, but not a "pay to stay whitelisted" one. IOW, you can be booted off at any time, and can't buy your way back on - at least, not w/ the same domain. But that is only my external impression, I have no direct first-hand experience w/ it, just friends who used to work for Barracuda.
