RE: [IMail Forum] barracuda and the like
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.

RE: [IMail Forum] barracuda and the like
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.

RE: [IMail Forum] barracuda and the like
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.

RE: [IMail Forum] barracuda and the like
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.
