I've looked at the Tangent option and since we're a small college also think it might work well. What have been your 
experiences? Do you or anyone on the list serve no how it compares to actually having the device onsite?

Aaron,

Keystone College is using a Barracuda, but we don't own it or have it on
our premises.  Our MX records are routed to Tangent Computer
(http://www.tcnoc.com/) where they scan all of our incoming mail and
forward the cleansed remainder to our Exchange server.  We're relatively
small, so this service is more cost effective than operating our own
Barracuda appliance.  They offer a free trial, and were very pleasant to
deal with.  If anyone is interested, our sales rep was Louise
O'Sullivan, and her number is 800 342 9388 X2137.

- Charlie.

I'm looking at the Barracuda Spam Filter and would like to know if
anyone is currently using it. If so what your experiences have been.
