I don't use the Outlook plugin, and opt to manage the quarantine globally (we're a small shop with ~50 users). In that configuration there is no way that an individual's Outlook settings can affect what the Barracuda does. I also seriously doubt that the Outlook plugin can cause changes to the Barracuda's settings, but I don't know for sure since I've never deployed it.
I have been cracking down hard on spam over the last several months after getting a complaint from the company owner that his inbox was receiving too much junk. My current settings are to tag anything with a score of 2 to 2.9, quarantine 3 to 5.9, and block above 6. I have the quarantined emails delivered to me and I release and mark the false positives. It's a minor pain to deal with, but the amount of spam getting through is down to a trickle. I also block using Barracuda IP reputation (b.barracudacentral.org), bl.spamcop.net, dnsbl.sorbs.net, and zen.spamhaus.org.
