We JUST installed the deep six DS-200.  Our volume of spam has 
significantly dropped off in the first few hours, and is supposed to 
continue to drop off..


We heard about it from Brian Livingston of Windows Sectrets (in)fame(y)

http://www.windowssecrets.com/comp/060126/?PHPSESSID=f25cd2ca4a031a87629d4b30bce2276a#story1

Cost is 1,000 for single domain use, and about 2,300 for multiple domain use.

Doesn't seem to be any monthly cost. ($180 for annual updates?)

RE: [IMail Forum] barracuda and the like

2006-06-17 Thread David Weber



We have been using a 
Barracuda for the last couple of years. I did not personally do most of 
the research, but at the time we decided to go with a Barracuda it seemed to 
offer a lot for the money; a good price point if you will. It has 
generally performed well and been effective though not without problems. I 
suggest you don't undersize the unit if you go with a Barracuda, especially 
don't underestimate the number of user accounts that it will have to 
support. Too many users seems to have more impact than too much mail per 
se. Feel free to send me an email off-list if you want additional 
information.

Good 
luck,David WeberWindows 2000 MCPhttp://www.orcsweb.com/Managed Complex

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.

Hi 

We use a Barracuda in front of our mail server and for the money it's the 
best IT investment we have made. Support from Barracuda is really good and 
they are very pro-active at fixing issue and making constant changes to the OS 
on the unit. 

Best Regards,James Robb

Have you considered a service
instead of an appliance?



We use Postini and are very happy
with them. Microsoft also bought a company that provides front-end processing.



Works just like a hardware box you
simply re-point the MX record, but you dont have to buy the capital
equipment and be locked-in.



Pricing varies  can be a
little cheaper or a little more expensive (depending upon your volume of users)
but you get more flexibility.



A big benefit is that spam attacks
and incoming DHAs all use THEIR bandwidth instead of yours. That can be
a big hidden savings that many people ignore.
