Anti-Spam Defence

Fighting Spam costs money! Not fighting Spam costs even more money. Lost productivity for North American companies is reaching staggering proportions, billions of dollars per year. The nature of UCE (unsolicited commercial email) is that once a way has been found to defeat one method, another is found to avoid detection. It is for this reason we continue to work on finding solutions that are both reliable and affordable while still being flexible enough to address your individual requirements. With this in mind, we are very pleased to announce the addition of a new Spam & Virus fighting solution, the Barracuda Spam Firewall 600.

The Barracuda Spam Firewall is an integrated hardware and software solution that has the power of an enterprise-class solution and includes all the features needed to eliminate Spam and completely protect email servers from all forms of attack. Email may be blocked, quarantined, tagged, or delivered based on global policies or the preferences of the individual user.
