I've been reading up a bit on Barracuda et al, like: http://www.email-ethics.com/2009/01/emailregorg-project.html http://zacharyozer.blogspot.com/2008/10/worst-engineers-ever.html http://www.debian-administration.org/users/simonw/weblog/295 And now I'm even more convinced that I will not be using Barracuda.
