Re: Barracuda Networks Spam Firewall

I agree that everything the Barracuda does can be done by hand. I had a
choice of either spending $4k for a 'set it and forget it' type spam
solution or continue to spend days per month of my time tweaking my old
setup. I chose to go with the commercial route which will easily save
me $$ and more importantly frustration over the course of this year. I
can spend my time building my business now instead of tweaking my mail
server.
Barracuda is built on open source, It boots LILO then goes into 'secret'
mode. I don't think they added any black magic to the box. They just
assembled the open source parts and shrink wrapped it into a very easy
to manage solution.

I prob spend ay most a couple of hours per week tweeking the thing now..
depends on whether you can squease the 4k out of the bean counters up
front...:-)
