He eoesn't trust the huge plethora of cloud providers to secure their environment properly. -- Phil Brutsche [email protected] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of J- P Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2013 2:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] RE: FortiGate FortiMail email security boxes - feedback?

Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:22:51 +0000 Ok, I just looked and the appropriate Barracuda VM - Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall Vx V300 - is $1500-ish USD. That's what I get for not checking before writing. They've diversified the options since I last looked 3-4 months ago. -- Phil Brutsche [email protected] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Phil Brutsche Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2013 1:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] RE: FortiGate FortiMail email security boxes - feedback? The Barracuda Networks VMs are $$$$$ - $3k USD or so for the VM. For comparison, the unlimited user FortiMail VM is $1500-ish USD and the SonicWALL VM was $800-ish USD for 50 users. -- Phil Brutsche [email protected] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of N Parr Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2013 12:42 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [NTSysADM] RE: FortiGate FortiMail email security boxes - feedback? I’ve been running Barracuda’s appliance in a VM for a couple years now and it does everything you require. But I don’t allow user access to quarantine. I set it in global mode and generally forget about it. Once you get it tuned right for spam and ham it’s pretty dead on. Every week or so I’ll take a look at my quarantine just to see if anything legit has been caught. I guess you could give users access to a shared mailbox that contains the quarantine.

We are currently using a Dell SonicWALL Email Security VMware appliance and The Boss Man™ would like to evaluate alternatives. One of the appliances that meets our requirements is the FortiGate FortiMail Email Security Appliance. Is anyone using one of these boxes, and, if you are, do you have any feedback you would like to share? In case anyone is wondering, these are the requirements: * LDAP support (believe it or not, there are actually boxes that don't support that!) * Available as a virtual appliance so we can run it in the VMware cluster * Support for quarantine delegation - we need to give specific users access to the quarantine folder for distribution groups -- Phil Brutsche [email protected]
