Re: Barracuda Spam and Virus Firewall

[Walter Petruska <wpetruska () USFCA EDU>]

We use a single device located at our helpdesk which ‘oversees’
student/personally owned computers or those that are known to be infected
which show up for repair cleaning.



It does a good job of protecting those computers during the
cleaning/remediation process, as well as helping to tell if a ‘suspect’
computer is infected or a bot, vs. clean.

We use the 300 model (single unit) as a secondary filter.  Primary is
postini.

It catches a lot of stuff postini seems to take forever on getting filters
for.

The unit itself was easy to setup although I had to tinker around a little
to get inbound working.



We use it for outbound filtering as well to help detect when things start
mass emailing from our server so we can shut the mailbox down before we get
put on spam block lists.

For those of you who are currently using Barracuda’s Spam and Virus
Firewall product, I am interested in any feedback you are able to provide.
In particular, I am interested in the following:



1.       Model (400, 600, 800, etc.)

2.       Ease of setup/use

3.       Single appliance or HA configuration

4.       How effective are you finding it?



Thanks in advance for your response.
