Hello All, I run and manage a # of Barracuda units (been a Barracuda partner since 2006) and would not recommend using the agent (too new & don’t believe in this approach). I would suggest you smtp relay mail via Barracuda for inbound and outbound scanning (it’ll also do spam scanning as well). For AV scanning, do it via your desktop AV agent when users click on a message. The end user based attack vector isn’t really attachments now, but URL based spyware end users click on.

Thanks Richard, my thinking is the same about Vipre on exchange. It’s certainly weird that since our decision to finally move to 2010 and get spam filtering off the exchange box that Barracuda includes an agent to put it back on the mail server. Not necessarily a bad thing but I will wait on that feature. I am looking forward to everything about this upcoming “transition” and the Barracuda box.

I just heard about this feature, and asked the same question here a few days ago. I am not running it, and from the silence after my list question, it doesn't seem like anyone else is either. I'm curious about it, but am not going to use it unless it's truly ready for prime time. I dropped Ninja/Vipre for Exchange when I moved to 2010 b/c that product is, IMHO, too flaky.

One of my questions to the rep was that my current Vipre/Ninja/whateveritscalled does internal scanning of attachments. The rep said that with their just released version 5.1 they now have an agent running on the exchange server that does just this. Anyone running a barracuda have this version running? thanks From: Carol Fee [mailto:c...@massbar.org<mailto:c...@massbar.org>] Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2012 2:56 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Moving to 2010 - Spam filter options?

I like my Barracuda very, very much. It just flat works, and I only have to touch it to find something for someone, or figure out why a message didn't go through to an external recipient (we use it as our outbound gateway to take advantage of the backscatter prevention feature). I never have to touch it to fix anything. I used to use Ninja, but only for A/V.

We currently use Sunbelts/GFI/ninja/vipre spam filter. It has worked fine over the years but now that we are moving to 2010 I wanted to see what others are using. Anyone move from Sunbelt ninja on 2003 to GFI/whatevertheycallit 2010? Barracuda appliance? Anything else?
