I suspect that they, in Barracuda 'time honoured tradition' are stealing
Spamhaus data and cobbling it with their own. They sure as hell got
caught out using CBL data last year.
As far a Barracuda 'lists' are concerned I'm far more interested in the
BARRACUDA WHITELIST and, the baby 'pay to spam' emailreg.org they have
cobbled into their boxes.
Plenty of Barracuda customers have the Barracuda 'Reputation' list set
to 'Quarantine' because they feel it lacks accuracy. I won't go on about
how doing this forces a Barracuda to struggle.... everyone knows that
they are rubbish.
And just to be clear - yes, former Barracuda Support Staff. I walked
away {you could not dream up how the place is run}. MY CHOICE - NOT
THEIRS.
