If your organization utilizes Barracuda's Email Security Gateway, you can safelist (aka whitelist) the Portal to allow our simulated phishing test emails and training notifications through to your end-users.
For an up-to-date list of the Portal's IP addresses, see this article.
Safelisting IP addresses in Barracuda's Email Security Gateway
- Log in to your Barracude Email Security Gateway web interface.

Barracuda Intent Analysis
You may need to safelist us in Barracuda's Intent Analysis feature to prevent the URLs in simulated phishing tests from being altered, and potentially resulting in skewed phishing test results. Here is an article from Barracuda explaining this process.
- NOTE: In some cases the Portal simulated phishing emails can still be flagged by Barracuda even if the IP addresses/domains have been properly safelisted. This is most likely due to our phish domains being listed on Barracuda's "Intent Analysis" list. If you are still having trouble, confirm that the phish domain used by your template is not listed on Barracuda Central and notify support@phishingbox.com if it is listed.
Barracuda Sender Authentication
If you'd like to spoof your own domain in simulated phishing tests, you can exempt Trusted Forwarder IP addresses from SPF checks. Here is an article from Barracuda with more information.
