If you find something, I'd like to hear about it. At one point we were doing 1.2M inbounds per day on a cluster of Barracuda appliances but the $/box didn't work once you included hardware refresh. Last time we looked around it seemed like everyone had a pet project that's fine for small scale but as soon as you want multi-tenant + clustering the cost went through the roof.
