Email has undoubtedly become a key tool for communications among companies worldwide. With frequent virus attacks and the alarming rate that spam fills inboxes, email is quickly becoming a less efficient means of communication. In fact, the Radicati Group, a market research firm in Palo Alto, California, predicts that by 2007, there will be 50 billion spam messages each day, costing companies almost $200 billion per year. This is simply astounding and unacceptable. It’s time to take control of spam.

The Barracuda Spam Firewall is an integrated hardware and software solution that has the power of an enterprise-class solution, and the ease-of-use and affordability that businesses of all sizes demand.

Barracuda Spam Firewall
The Barracuda Spam Firewall is an integrated hardware and software solution for complete protection of your email server. It provides a powerful, easy to use, and affordable solution to eliminating spam and virus from your organization by providing the following protection:

Powerful, Complete Solution
The Barracuda Spam Firewall is compatible with all email servers and can fit into nearly any corporate or small business environment. It is used by small organizations with as few as 10 employees and large organizations with as many as 200,000 employees. A single Barracuda Spam Firewall handles up to 25,000 active email users and 15 million email messages per day. Multiple units can be clustered together for even greater capacity and high availability.

The Barracuda Spam Firewall protects your email server with ten defense layers:

• Denial of service and security protection
• IP block list
• Rate control
• Virus check with archive decompression
• Barracuda virus check
• User-specified rules
• Spam fingerprint check
• Intention analysis
• Bayesian analysis
• Rule-based scoring

The Barracuda Spam Firewall architecture optimizes the processing of each email to maximize performance and process millions of messages per day. Unlike software solutions, the Barracuda Spam Firewall reduces the load placed on the email server by off-loading both spam and virus filtering.

In addition, all Barracuda Spam Firewall models include essential outbound filtering techniques including attachment scanning, virus filtering, rate controls and encryption. These features help organizations to ensure that all outgoing email is legitimate and virus-free.

Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound Mode
The Barracuda Spam Firewall–Outbound Mode is a mail transfer agent (MTA) that uses sophisticated email filtering and policy management to protect organizations from such risks. It’s a powerful solution suitable for the largest of businesses, yet has the ease of use and affordability that smaller businesses demand.

The Barracuda Spam Firewall ­– Outbound Mode includes all the features needed to eliminate your outbound spam and protect against virus proliferation.

Powerful, Enterprise-Class Solution
The Barracuda Spam Firewall– Outbound Mode is a powerful enterprise-class solution that provides outbound email protection in three key ways:

• Stops virus proliferation
• Enforces corporate policies
• Prevents spamming

No organization, especially no ISP, wants to be the source of viruses or spam. It not only puts a tremendous strain on the company’s network, but it’s also damaging to the organization’s reputation. The Barracuda Spam Firewall– Outbound Mode ensures that all email leaving the network is virus-free and legitimate. It prevents people from unintentionally or intentionally using the organization’s network to send viruses or spam.

The Barracuda Spam Firewall– Outbound Mode also helps ensure that employees are in compliance with government regulations and corporate information policies. With laws that now govern how or when companies are able to disseminate sensitive information, it is critical for companies to monitor emails for regulatory compliance. But even absent such regulations, it makes good business sense to enforce corporate information policies and protect intellectual property from being inappropriately disseminated.
