Re: Barracuda Networks Spam Firewall

We have done an eval of this same product (model 400).  It is very cool in 
virtually every regard except one: performance.  We were facing 1+ hour 
mail delays (!) through the device when pumping less than 1,000,000 
messages per day through it.   Given that they claim it can handle ten 
times that much, I am left wondering what happened.  Very disappointing in 
that regard; the eval unit is being shipped back as a result.  -- Jared
