We do not fit into that. We are not selling an appliance or service to others (the 'Cuda is for our internal corporate email only, not customers). If we were still using my home-built SpamAssassin system, it'd be OK to use Spamhaus. Now that we've purchased an appliance and manually added a Spamhaus to the user-customizable DNSBL list on it, it's not OK?
I knew I had read it somewhere... http://www.spamhaus.org/faq/answers.lasso?section=Datafeed%20FAQ#153 Quote:
If you do not have a current Spamhaus Datafeed subscription, then you are abusing Spamhaus's public DNSBL servers. If your email volume is big enough that you need a Barracuda or similar spam filter appliance, then you certainly CAN NOT use Spamhaus's free public DNSBL servers.
Contrary to what you may have been told by the nice appliance salesman, Spamhaus does not have any agreement with Barracuda for the use of Spamhaus DNSBLs with Barracuda appliances.
Because Spamhaus's public DNSBL servers get heavily abused by companies with spam filter appliances, mostly Barracuda appliances, Spamhaus has implemented a control system on the public DNSBL servers to flag and firewall such users and Barracuda appliances in particular.
