We love our Astaro. It is a Multi layered appliance. Firewall, Spam firewall, virus scanner, proxy, with 8 ports. So you can DMZ and bridge ports togeather. We have not had one issue out of the device. It uses the Barracuda email filters according to them. We quarintine about 1k emails everyday that are spam, have no idea how man get blackholed though. I do know we dropped our network traffic by about 3% when we installed it.
It is also sitting behind a Pix. So there are 2 firewalls in place and no slowdowns with gigabit ports.
