I should have been more specific. We use Maia Mailguard and it does
give our clients the ability to fully control their email system
letting them determine what is or is not spam, and it learns over
time, as well as white and black listing at the individual or domain level.
It also gives them the ability to redeliver email that they may have
lost or deleted for a predetermined period. We currently have that
period set for 14 days for all email delivered or filtered.
Yes, we do have extensive experience in Linux of a variety of flavors
which made it easier to implement.
There was also the matter of updating the database of authenticated
users so we wrote a script to update Maia. This will change when we
move away from 8.22 to something else... :-)
After we installed Maia maintenance for our email systems went down about 90%.
Works great.

It does sound like IMGate is great, but I don't want to learn another OS =
and
I love the flexibility if giving users the ability to handle their own
filters and quarantine with the Barracuda. And If things get really =
busy, I
drop another one in and do some clustering.

I agree with Len. IMGate can handle a substantial volume of email, on
relatively modest hardware. AND you can have redundancy by adding RAID =
or a
whole second server for the cost of the hardware. =20

We have two 400 for incoming and one 200 for out going. The main =
drawback
is, it canB=12t handle volume of emails.
This is the main complaint I see from my clients who have Barracuda. =
More
than one has placed IMGate out front in exactly the same role as IMGate
plays for IMail, to remove the 90% of the crap at the envelope stage and
allow the next hop system (Barracuda or Imail/stuff) to keep running for
years. =20
IMGate allows running a much cheaper Barracuda, both as a purchase and =
as
annual subscription.
Barracuda is fine as content-filter if you can afford the power of a =
machine
that meets your laod, but of course exactly the same, and more, can be =
done
with free software on generic hardware and no annual subscription.
Looking at the log messages that IMGate logs in talking to Barracuda,
Barracuda also runs postfix as MTA, just as IMGate does.
