My top rejections for today are:

% fgrep www.barracudanetworks.com/reputation /var/log/mail.log |
  awk '{print $10}' | sort  |uniq -c | sort -n | tail

     18 mx35.ispgateway.de[80.67.29.41]:
. . .
     21 mx20.ispgateway.de[80.67.18.53]:
     21 mx43.ispgateway.de[80.67.29.52]:
. . .
     24 mx31.ispgateway.de[80.67.29.35]:


We see those too.  Hosts in this domain are sending mail FROM:<>
to recipients that do not exist, subject "Mail delivery failed:
returning message to sender".

It's ironic for Barracuda to blacklist hosts for backscatter.
