It's a whitelist that appears to be based solely on paying Barracuda a fee.  
That doesn't sound like a valid whitelist protocol!

I'm pretty sure none of my users are sending spam.  I'm not on any other RBLs, 
and I haven't seen recent unusual mail volume.  

Regardless, with other RBLs there is typically some information on the 
triggering criteria.  That does not appear to be the case here.  BRBL seems to 
be a pay-to-play whitelist with arbitrary and opaque "poor reputation" 
categorization.
