The Ag Networking group is using a Barracuda Spam Firewall
appliance. Don't know the model number off hand though. Seems
to be doing a good job. Not sure, but the Antivirus option is
extra on the model they have? Perhaps Gil can post the
experience they have had using it on the college mail server
and what they think of it.

For a number of years I have been using GFI's products: Mail
Essentials for Antispam and Mail Security for Content
Checking/Antivirus
I feel like both apps have gradually become weaker over the years,
e.g. GFI insists that if they are installed on the same server, the
content-checking app supersedes the anti-spam app so you can imagine
all the "dubious-content" emails I had to approve/deny that would be
weeded out if they let the anti-spam app delete messages to
non-existent users first - I had to split them onto 2 servers to get
around this.
The latest version of Mail Security has taken things to an all-new low
- to the point that I can't even get it to work without it deleting
every email as it processes it :-/
Anyway, I think it's time to look around for an alternative. Can
anyone recommend a single application/suite of applications/appliance
that can do the following:
Anti-Spam:
Sender Policy Framework (SPF) support
Directory Harvesting Protection
Bayesian Engine
DNS Blacklists
Spam URI Realtime Blacklists
Header Checking
Keyword Blocking
Custom Blacklists
Custom Whitelists
Content Checking:
Subject/Body Keyword
Attachments
Virus/Trojan Horse/Email Exploit/HTML Threat Checking
Thanks for any pointers
Alex
