I have *never* considered Barracuda to be reliable. At least they have stopped their practice of listing my server and then sending me spam offering to sell me their crapware to keep it off blacklists for $$$$ per month. > another recent example: > Spamhaus blocked GMX/1&1/Web.de completly *by a mistake*, no problem in case > of scoring, a ruined weekend if we had used it as only source The extremely occasional mistaken black is more than made up for by the vast quantities of spam that are blocked every day. I reject at SMTP based on zen. If zen is mistaken, at least the sender doesn’t think the mail as delivered and f they (and their MUA) are competent, they know WHY their mail didn’t go through. -- Oh, the sweet wine of youth goes sour over time Seems like the more that you lose, the more you ache to find
