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.  

Cheers,

J.

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).
