Hi the list,
I am posting the results of my tests in order to have
fedback/feelings/remarqs.
This is not directly spamassassin related, but can be helpful for
people (I saw here) wondering if they would used the barracuda
DNSBL.
When other well known DNSBL (I have always heard spamhaus sbl and
xbl are trust worthy) list less at most 50 entries , barrcuda lists
almost 8000!!!!
They list spammers based on trend and feedback from their appliance
users. Personally I find it very accurate and it hits out rubbish that
other lists seem to inexplicably (£$£$£$) miss.
Third reason is 'emailreg.org'.
Totally agree - the owners of Barracuda appliances are unable to disable
the 'emailreg.org' whitelist without calling support which, in my view,
makes it a bypass or 'pay to spam barracuda owners' . That said,
compared to their internal whitelist (which has some really interesting
clients on it) emailreg.org is small fry.
Barracuda - not white hat, not black hat, but kinda pinky grey hat.
I'm using both their black lists and white lists and it seems to work
fine for me. Putting the issue of political correctness aside.
