Barracuda Reputation Block List (BRBL)

We find the Barracuda block list to be overly sensitive.

For example, we'd got a brand new IP class-C allocation, not used in at least a half year. All the IP#s were on the list.

On the good side, they did remove us promptly when asked.

Note we'd already vetted the IP#s and they weren't on any of the common blocklists, not even the ones known to be heavy-handed.

And in any event we can't add them to SpamBlocker even if we wanted to, since they require YOU register before you use it.

Ok thanks. It really seems that some people want spam to get through.

It may be wise to site up an official site that you have to register your email address, your email address checked and on regular basis.

Why this has not been done can only come down to high level corruption.

You can use this list with spamassassin to good effect by adding the following rule:

header RCVD_IN_BRBL eval:check_rbl('brbl-lastexternal', 'b.barracudacentral.org.', '127.0.0.2')
describe RCVD_IN_BRBL Received via relay listed in Barracuda RBL
score RCVD_IN_BRBL 1.0
tflags RCVD_IN_BRBL net

A score of 1 will minimise the danger of FPs but you might want to set it to 2 or 3 depending on the results of sa-stats.pl

Excuse me for being dense but what file and where do I enter that code into. We have been using the Barracuda RBL on our other mail servers for several months without a problem.
