Because I don't need any of the cute and fluffy features like a quarantine spambox, I just use the barracuda rbl along with a few others. You get their filtering power for free and don't have to deal with the hardware, if you don't particularly like it. http://www.barracudacentral.org/ --  

Re: Barracuda Networks is at it again: Any Suggestions as to an Alternative?

It's quite easy to build your own [out of open-source components] that easily outperforms any appliance on the market. (Which isn't saying much: none of them are very good, and all of them are way overpriced. The bar is thus set quite low.) It will not have all the superfluous bells and whistles

Re: Barracuda Networks is at it again: Any Suggestions as to an Alternative?

I agree. Simple clean perl proxy. Lots of GUI config. Can use ClamAV and other AV systems. Easy to deploy. Is no brainer to manage. Comes in single and multithreaded. Your call. I get a lot of email through the single thread version. Handles TLS and more. http://sourceforge.net/projects/assp

Re: Barracuda Networks is at it again: Any Suggestions as to an Alternative?

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. --Curtis On 4/10/2011 8:24 PM, William Warren wrote: On 4/9/2011

RE: Barracuda Networks is at it again: Any Suggestions as to an Alternative?

I also use postini and it works really well for my current needs. I had experience with Barracuda as outbound anti-spam filters for a very large hosting provider and I won't use Barracuda again. Some of their methods for blocking spam are a tad extreme. At one point they decided to block both y

You get their filtering power for free and don't have to deal with the hardware, if you don't particularly like it. http://www.barracudacentral.org/ That's not completely true; the Barracuda appliance uses both block-lists and content-based filtering. The block-list is free for anyone who
