And it has been mentioned here, and in other places on the net, before.
Yes, indeed, there appears to be an issue with Barracuda appliances'
configuration in "certain firmware revisions", not properly explaining
what "some certain, recommended conf option" does.
Aka, some (mis-configured?) Barracudas indeed have been reported to do
deep-header parsing against blacklists possibly including PBL style IPs.
SA does not do that. (Ow, how did I manage to get on-topic? ;)
This entire thread is OT. Not that an occasional OT thread would be bad
in and by itself. And I do understand the desire of the OP to vent about
improper blacklist usage.
However, I do NOT want this thread to become $vendor bashing or any kind
of flame war. Even less so, if asking google would return references to
all arguments brought up yet again here.
If anyone feels a strong urge to bring up and discuss a spam related,
though not SA related, topic -- oh well, so may it be. But please, do it
sensibly. No flame war. Or I'll have to close the thread.
