Actually I mentioned that to my Barracuda sales person (we have the Spyware Firewall which is really good) and he told me that they started with SpamAssassin, but have since moved to their own software.

In fact, I don't have concrete numbers but I am willing to put $100 and say SA/SARE does better. Doesn't Barracuda use SpamAssassin in their boxes? If so it's not too surprising that it wouldn't perform much differently from SpamAssassin.... :-) Barracuda may not use SARE, so SARE may indeed be better.
