A barracuda appliance uses postfix, amavisd-new, spamassassin with
fuzzyOCR and clamav. I've built a couple of these boxes for customers.
I use their dnsbl as well as spamhaus. It works pretty well, not much
gets through.

OK, its been a year since my Barracuda subscription expired. The unit
still stops some spam. I figured that I would go and see what
they would do if I tried to renew my subscription EXACTLY one year
after it expired. Would their renewal website say "Oh, you are at
your anniversary date", and renew me for a year?
No such luck: They want me to PAY FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR for which I did
NOT receive service and then for the current (upcoming year).
Sorry - I don't allow myself to be ripped off like that. Sorry
Barracuda - you get no money from me and I'll tell everyone I know
about this policy of yours.
I posted an article about this unscrupulous practice on my blog last
year at http://www.john-palmer.net/wordpress/?p=46
My question is - does anyone have any suggestions for another e-mail
appliance like the Barracuda Spam Firewall that doesn't try to
charge their customers for time not used. I should be able to shut
off the unit for a year or whatever and simply renew from the
point that I re-activate the unit instead of having to pay for
back-years that I didn't use.
Thanks
Untangle's free version...isn't worth the bandwidth. The paid version
is ok..but it's a resource hog.
