Is it your position that, as a vendor of antispam services, nobody else should offer their services for a fee?
That would be strange indeed
Actually I can sympathize with Barracuda on this one: Bob's Widgets is running thier own mail server for their 25 employees. They decide the need better spam filters. They can hire Bob's nephew to drop in a Linux server running Postfix and SpamAssassan. In this situation it's OK for Little Bobby to configure the Spamhaus RBLs for use on this solution. They could also hire Barracuda to do essentially the same thing (assumption based on source code published at http://source.barracuda.com/source/ ). In this case Bob's Widgets is not allowed to use Spamhaus. Their list, their rules; but it is indeed strange to me. -- Dave
