-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Cox Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2004 10:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] Great MX firewall to put in front of your imail server We use imail and declude and transact 400,000 messages per day over about 250 domains. The fact is that neither declude imail combo, nor imail internal antispam and antivirus could keep up with our traffic, even though we had dual xeon's and a new high performance dell server. With our junk mail traffic doubling every 3 months as a small ISP with only about 3K customers we were going to have to buy and deploy multiple imail servers that would have been expensive in hardware and software. This got me to thinking I would have to switch mail server software to sendmail that is more efficient as well as can more easily be spilt up across severs based on process (pop, smtp, imap, etc) rather than by accounts. Then I found something that let me keep my investment in my current mail server. For about $13K we bought a barracuda 600 spam fire wall (http://www.barracudanetworks.com/). The features are amazing, it can cluster easily, and the updates are fairly cheap. You still need imail and /or declude for internal mail protection and outbound mail (and unless you want to buy an outbound unit from barracuda as well). But this product has saved me from switching mail servers. You can apply for a free 30 day demo! =Jeffery Cox Chief Operating Officer McMinnville Access Company DBA OnlineMac / Centricata www.onlinemac.com www.centricata.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- [This E-mail Scanned for viruses by Onlinemac.com] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
