I  can  only speak for Barracuda. We have a 400 here that I'm using as
just  a  front line defense for our IMail server. It currently is only
doing tag-and-release. No accounts are being created on the appliance.
It  currently  has 191 domains and is handling loads up to 2.4 million
messages  per day. As of the writing of this message, the hourly total
messages received is 115,860. If it wasn't for the Barracuda, I'm sure
the IMail server wouldn't be able to keep up.

It  does  use proprietary Barracuda stuff for Spam and Virus filtering
as well as Clam and SpamAssassin. However, you can't interact with the
open  source  things they have used like I wish you could. There are a
bunch  of rule sets I would like to get added in for SpamAssassin that
would actually make for better filtering for Spam.

However, all in all it has worked out quite well.
