Re: Barracuda RBL in first place

Again, noted that 'Barracuda' missed 43, 35 of these Spamhaus caught - so for me Spamhaus is still better than Barracuda. Also, I was sat in on a phone conference at Barracuda last year where the motives were made clear; "Long term we intend to charge for it" (OWTTE). I personally think it would be a mistake if Barracuda started charging for it. I think that as long as it's free Barracuda is generating good will. That way they aren't seen as "The Microsoft of Spam" as some big company that takes from the open source community and gives nothing back. I don't think they will ever be the "Google of Spam" where most everyone loves them but how the public feel about a company does make a different in sales. So if someone here gets tired of doing it themselves they might go out and buy a Barracuda server. I know that personally as a small fish in a big pond it works for me. I give away a lot of stuff. But I see it as cheap advertising. And it works.
