What Happens if your Domain or IP Address is on a Blacklist
If your domain or IP address is on a blacklist that you subscribe to, then your Barracuda Spam
Firewall will not deliver messages from users on that domain. There could be several reason why your
domain is on the list:
• Your mail server may have been hijacked by a spammer to be used for spamming.
• Your mail server is an open relay meaning any one can use it to send e-mails to any recipient
without any authentication.
• Spammers used your domain as a fake sender to send spam to recipients.
• If your domain or IP address is on a blacklist, you will need to contact the blacklist
provider to have it removed.
IP Address Filters
IP Block/Accept allows you to filter messages based on the sender’s IP network.
The following table describes the filters on this page.
relays.ordb.org ORDB.org is the Open Relay Database. ORDB.org is a non-profit
organization that stores IP-addresses of verified open SMTP relays.
These relays are likely to be used as conduits for sending unsolicited
bulk e-mail. By accessing this list, system administrators are allowed to
choose to accept or deny e-mail exchange with servers at these
addresses.
bl.spamcop.net SpamCop is a more aggressive spam service that often errs on the
side of blocking mail. Many mail servers can operate with blacklists in
a tag-only mode, which may be preferable when using SpamCop.
Table 5.3:
Filter Description
Allowed IP Range Add any IP addresses or networks that you wish to add to your
whitelist. To add an individual IP address, use a netmask of
255.255.255.255.
Whitelisted IP addresses bypass spam scoring as well as all other
blacklists, but do go through virus, attachment, body, and subject
filters.
Click Add after adding each entry, followed by Save Changes.
