Dear All Postfix users who replied.
Thanks all for your support. I got the mail admin at the otherend to
white list the IP range in question. I do believe its a silly way of
blocking e-mail!

Tell the postmaster at the receiving end that they are blocking
legitimate mail thanks to overly aggressive (ie. brain dead)
settings from Barracuda. It should not matter at all the IP
address of the person sending an email.
And if the postmaster at the receiving end assumes that if this were
a brain-dead setting, surely Barracuda wouldn't offer it as an option,
now would they?, have them look at the following FAQ page from
Spamhaus:
There are lots of good software that do some incredibly dumb things.
http://www.spamhaus.org/faq/answers.lasso?section=Spamhaus%20PBL#185
and, in particular, read the warning about "deep parsing" and why a
mail server must *NOT* do deep parsing using Spamhaus's PBL block
list (their list of dynamic end-user IP addresses that ought to be
sending out their mail via their ISP's mail server rather than trying
to talk directly to destinations).
Like the above.
