Given this change in SURBL in policy and pricing, I would strongly
suggest removing their rules from the SA rule base. Otherwise, you will
likely get lots of complaints from users of systems that have embedded
SA installs, or others who do not monitor this list. I can see many
Barracuda users not having a clue why they are now being blocked and
their systems are processing messages slower as a result.
Most blacklists have a usage policy where you are charged if your
site generates more than X queries. As the SpamAssassin rule base
contains several blacklists which are pay-ware, those rules would
have to be removed as well. Barracuda users being blocked is not a
SpamAssassin issue.
Do you want SpamAssassin to include a warning about "external charges
may apply if the blacklists included in the rule base are used to
process more than X messages or if your site has more than Y users"?
