Thanks. That confirms my idea. I contacted one of the ISPs who had a postfix 
cluster and claimed that no other system was in front (but he was not the email 
guru there). I didn’t get the information on what DNS setup they have (e.g. 
using Google DNS or other third party, or if they have their own).

I am not sure why Barracuda would block an overflow of requests with a positive 
response though. Would that be to fill the cache with a TTL? Does make sense, a 
little.

FYI, this is not a Barracuda spam filter error, but a third party mail 
server/filter using the barracudacentral.org rbl's in their spam filtering.  So 
all bets are off as to where the issue is.

The 'user' of the Barracuda RBL's is susposed to register their DNS server IP 
addresses with Barracuda.  It would not surprise me if Barracuda blocked what 
they consider high traffic levels from an un-registered DNS server.

Hi,

Does Barracuda have issues? I get a lot of spurious bounces, since the 13th, 
that state (and this is just one example):

… Client host [46.31.52.7] blocked using b.barracudacentral.org

Needless to say: My IPs are not listed as having a ‘poor’ reputation (and the 
exact same mailservers accept mails from the same IP only minutes before and 
after to the exact same domain). I thought it was just some DNS issues at a 
location we send to, but it persists at many networks. It also cannot easily be 
explained by a ‘tight’ spamfilter setting on a domain. So there seem to be some 
technical issues. The question is: Where is the issue (Barracuda, its software, 
DNS, …)? Do others have the same?

Comments are appreciated.
