Ben,
If you read the information at Barracuda’s site carefully, they are not saying that registered domains will actually be white-listed centrally at the Barracuda global level. They seem to be describing a white-list option that their subscribers CAN use (or not) in their LOCAL configuration, if the client DECIDES they want to use that particular service for white-listing: Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall administrators can configure their systems to use EmailReg.org to apply policy to inbound email. Emails from domain names and IP addresses that are properly registered on EmailReg.org can be automatically exempted from spam filtering defense layers on the Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewalls throughout the world.

Hi all, Some years ago I ran into a problem with Barracuda where they were blacklisting us for no reason at all. The solution was to register with emailreg.org and pay $20/year. A lot has been posted on the Net about how emailreg is really part of Barracuda and it’s all a scam, but from my perspective, $20 was cheaper than the aspirin I’d need to sort out Barracuda’s problems. This has worked every year until now. This year, I needed to give them a new credit card number (same CC provider, CapitalOne, just a new number). However, once I entered the new number information, it wouldn’t process the renewal charge. I checked with the CC company and they said that emailreg is still trying to charge the old number. So somehow they’ve cached the old CC information and continue to try to use that, instead of the new number. I’ve tried using their online contact form, which is the only contact info provided on the emailreg web site, but they never reply. So now I have two questions: is it still worth bothering with emailreg and how do I get a hold of these people? Any suggestions? Thanks, Ben
