Re: Barracuda Spam and Virus Firewall

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

2.       Ease of setup/use

3.       Single appliance or HA configuration

4.       How effective are you finding it?

Thanks in advance for your response.
