[BlueOnyx:12407] Re: Mail filtering alternative to Postini

[Barry Mishkind]

FWIW ... Barracuda has a very bad habit that blows off valid email.

Specific example.  If the sender is on a cox.net address, but someone 
else on the node gets placed on one of the RBLs (very common), the 
whole node is jeopardized.  The barracuda sees the original IP and
kills the email, even if it comes from a valid, non-spamming mail server.

People who are on cox.net, comcast.net, etc are often victimized,
regardles of the mail server they use, because the IP addess of their ISP
is poisoned.
