it is a good policy

"Zero-Hour-Intent" means there was a lot of spam containing this URL
and Barracuda Networks was notfied by customers as they flagged the
spam which means the flagged messages are sent to Barracuda

usually this sort of blacklisting catchs varying spam containing
always the same URLs while obfuscating the content permanently

i had days where our Barracuda appliance blocked up to 500.000 spam messages
per day - depends on for how many mail-addresses you are the MX

we are for > 10.000 speard all over the world
