A single Barracuda Spam Firewall handles up to 25,000 active email users and 25 million email messages per day. The Barracuda Spam Firewall is a powerful, enterprise-class solution. The Barracuda Spam Firewall design leverages open source virus and spam solutions in conjunction 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 scoringThe Barracuda will stop spam in more than 10 languages. The decision on what types of emails to block can be made either by the user or on a global corporate level. You have the flexibility to decide where you would like the decision to be made. The Barracuda will allow mail to be quarantined on the Spam machine, allowing users the opportunity to see items marked as spam, and train the filter on a per user basis. The first time a message is quarrantined, the user will be sent a message explaining how to look at the blocked messages and how to make per user settings. A user will receive an email daily if there are items trapped in the spam filter. You may login to the spam filter and change this setting to weekly, monthly or never. A team of security engineers at Barracuda Central monitor the Internet for trends in spam and virus attacks. As they detect trends, updates are created for the Barracuda Spam Firewall. The Barracuda Spam Firewall is then automatically updated with new spam rules, spam algorithms, and virus definitions. The Barracuda Spam Firewall will continue to deliver comprehensive and accurate protection even as the methods of the spammers change.
