I've built an Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus appliance that I've recently put to market. If you have some suggestions on what makes an appliance really soar above the rest, I'd love you hear about it.

(http://www.barracudanetworks.com) A few months ago, I was chatting with an IT contractor guy in my city who had installed the barracuda firewall for many large clients, including a large hospital. I sent this guy a follow-up e-mail a few minutes later and... guess what... it returned to me with a message about it being blocked because of being spam. In all fairness, I was using my webmail interface at the time and this probably wouldn't have happened if I had been at my office using outlook... but still!!!! Also, isn't barracuda known for sending notification e-mails out to every spammer for every incoming spam? ...creating a nightmare by confirming addresses to spammers, adding unnecessary traffic, and twisting the knife in "joe job" victims. But, please correct me if I'm wrong on this. (For example, I don't think that my reply was from my own mail server reporting back on SMTP responses, but I could be mistaken). Rob McEwen
