Re: Barracuda Spam and Virus Firewall

["Garza, Veronica M." <garzav () UIWTX EDU>]

We have several of the 600 models in a cluster for inbound and outbound emails for several years. We also use the 
encryption feature and setup was easy. The units work well for catching spam especially with rate control. We also have 
experienced quick resolutions with support and quick turn around with RMA or IR.

We are currently beta testing the 5.2 firmware.

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.
