I'm not worried about email since the users don't use email. I'm worried about blocking malware from coming in and preventing users from surfing non work-related sites.

If it is to eliminate the spam and so on, it ends up eliminating real emails. Ive had people subscribe to our training website thru gmail because they know they will never get thru their company filter - often barracuda. Is it really going to harm you if you get 100 spam emails a day that go to your junk folder where you can quickly scan for real stuff? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kurt @ VR-FX Sent: Thursday, 14 June 2012 10:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NF] Anybody using Barracuda web filtering? I agree - but, from an employee stand point at a co. that uses it - and, it blocks us from EVERYTHING. Its Insane. You go to a website - even an MSN forum for help with programming stuff - and you are blocked. Its blocks almost ALL Video stuff (or - again - it may just be the way that the place set it up at where I work) and - so many other things - can't go to Sports, or Cars, or Games related sites. Hell - you can Barely get to ANYTHING at where I work. So - from MY stand point - I hate it! But, again =- it could be the way that THEY set it up - on purpose to block us from all those things. But - at least I can get to GOOGLE - but, forget searching Images - BLOCKED!!! :-( -K- On 6/13/2012 9:12 PM, geoff wrote: > I hate barracuda. we do extensive email marketing and occasionally > come across a barracuda block. it is way too quick to judgement and in > some instances, companies using it have whitelists meaning you cannot > send an email, period.
