Agreed. We use the Cuda appliance and never see that kind of influx.

I would look at why so much is getting past the Barracuda. I use their hosted 
solution and I get maybe 3 spam emails a week and no other complaints 
internally that a lot is getting in.

Subject: [Exchange] Outlook/Exchange antivirus/content filtering

Hi guys,

I've been using GFI MailEssentials for a few years for anti-spam and content 
filtering. I use a Barracuda in front of our Exchange (2010) server, so that 
weeds out probably 97% of the spam. The rest shows up in users' Suspected Spam 
folder (from MailEssntials.)

But two things are pushing me away from MailEssentials a bit. One is the fact 
that Suspected Spam folders are just plain full every day. It doesn't seem 
great at figuring out what is spam and what isn't, and you can drop mail into 
the "This Is Spam" folder all day for months and months and you will still get 
the same stuff. Easily 200-400 pieces of spam a day in that folder.

The other thing is that a few months ago I changed my (small) company from use 
VIPRE on the server and desktops to using Kaspersky Total Security for 
Business. It has anti-spam modules for the server but I've not used them yet. 
My concern is that there is no client functionality, as far as I can tell, for 
Outlook. When I talked to Kaspersky, they said there is no need - that their 
filters will catch all the spam and it doesn't require any whitelisting or 
blacklisting from users. Based on all of the false positives and false 
negatives I've seen over the years from anti-spam vendors, I find this hard to 
believe.

Anyone have any experience with using Kasperky for anti-spam?

Thanks for any thoughts!

Evan
