Stay far away.
I had no idea that emailreg.org was owned and operated by Barracuda. I thought they were two separate entities. (though I did have my suspicions about that relationship) But, as the post you mentioned said, emailreg.org resolves to 64.235.146.64 and arin.net shows that 64.235.146.64 is clearly in Barracuda's assigned address space. I'll tell you right now... this is BIG and EASY money. Very BIG and very EASY money. I suspect they are pulling in hundreds... maybe even thousands... of those $20 payments per day. If there is just 150 of these per business day, they've already cleared a million $$ per year. Maybe there aren't that many?...but I suspect that this number might be closer to a thousand per day, which would be into the tens of millions of dollars per year. (if I seem upset about this... read between the lines... and you might understand why) -- Rob McEwen http://dnsbl.invaluement.com/ r...@invaluement.com +1 (478) 475-9032
