- ●Barracuda uses their own spam trap network — never purchase email lists as they likely contain Barracuda traps.
- ●If you are on shared hosting, your IP may be listed due to another user. Contact your hosting provider.
- ●After removal, maintain good sending practices. Repeated listings result in longer removal times.
