Frickin Barracuda web filter blocking legit sites as spam

I have a friend who works at a large soulless corporation. The powers that be at his company installed Barracuda. He told me one of my squeeze pages was blocked as "spam" by the filter.

I went over to see what's what. I also checked a number of other guy's pages.

Most of mine are fine, but a couple aren't. Barracuda labels Frank Kern's Mass Control site as spam and blocks it. Same with Jeff Walker's PLF site. Ditto some of Ewen Chia's sites. And quite a few more marketers.

But some other guys are just fine, even though they are not substantially different.

Great. Now I have to get my tech guy onto this and figure out what Barracuda wants and how to make it leave my sites alone.

I don't know the market share Barracuda has. I figure it's mostly corporate systems. But I get a lot of orders from people at work.
