Barracuda Reputation Block List (BRBL) Now Available to Email Administrators
for Widespread Protection Against Latest Spam, Viruses and other Email Threats
Campbell, Calif., Oct. 2, 2008 Barracuda Networks Inc., today announced
it is making the Barracuda Reputation Block List (BRBL) available to email
administrators as a free service. Designed to be the most comprehensive database
of IP addresses that have been identified as sources of spam and other email
threats, the BRBL is derived from the Barracuda Reputation System and is
generated automatically from Barracuda Networks' expansive spam data collection.
The Barracuda Reputation System is a compilation of the most sophisticated IP
analysis techniques and is one of 12 defense layers included in the Barracuda
Spam Firewall.
As the worldwide leading provider of email and content filtering appliances,
Barracuda Networks has access to the largest corpus of email and threat data,
said Dean Drako, president and CEO of Barracuda Networks. This gives us a broad
view of the threat landscape and enables us to provide protections to our
customers before outbreaks occur. We are pleased to make some of Barracuda
Networks spam fighting expertise available to the public in an effort to
further our mission of reducing the volume of spam and other email threats
worldwide.
How IP Addresses Are Classified
Most IP addresses on the BRBL are listed as a result of directly sending spam or
viruses to the Barracuda Reputation System's detectors. The Barracuda Reputation
System detects spam using honeypots special addresses created to receive only
spam and do not belong to any real user and through analysis of captive
spyware protocol activity.
The BRBL can receive queries in real-time from registered email servers
throughout the Internet using standard DNSBL communications protocols. Using the
BRBL responses, email administrators can configure their email systems to
identify, tag, score or block incoming connections from IP addresses which have
been involved in spam campaigns.
Barracuda Central, our security center which monitors the Internet for the
latest email and Web threats on a 24-by-7 basis, captures data from two billion
spam messages on average per day, said Drako. From this diverse set of data we
are able to identify some of the most egregious spam activity and very quickly
take action to make sure that the spammers IP address is blocked. By opening
the BRBL to the public, organizations across the globe will be able to quickly
identify spam operations at the connection layer and stop spam in its tracks.
For more information on the BRBL and to register for access, please visit
