Just to clarify, there is no legal or moral obligation to do this, the 'bb' subdomain was created specifically so SA users wouldn't need to register. Anything you may read on the Barracuda site applies to the 'b' version. Barracuda has given no indication that anything has changed. The issue is that some users have seen look-ups fail and attributed it to possible rate limiting on non-registered IP addresses. You should register if you use the 'b' list directly from an MTA. If you only run the 'bb' version from SA and use fixed IP addresses it *may* help with reliability if you register. If you run SA client side on a dynamic address there's no point in registering. > and add this to your local.cf: I would suggest people just copy the existing rule as it is. This list contains dynamic IP addresses so shouldn't be used for deep look-ups. > NOTE: recent masscheck processing shows RCVD_IN_BRBL_LASTEXT as the > most effective non-zero scoring rule to hit spam (43%) so it's > probably worth adding back to your local.cf on Wednesday or Thursday. If you don't rename the rule there's no need to wait. Note that once it's removed the scores for other rules will adjust to compensate for its absence, and this *may* lead to more FP's if it's left at its current score.
