And on another thought... with that much junk mail, why not use a
service that blocks the spam BEFORE it uses your bandwidth and
resources? Like Postini... or others.

Just a thought, unless you have a 600 or better unit, you are running 1x10/100 Ethernet on 100-400 units vs. 2xGigabit on to
600-1000 units, IMO creating a bottleneck even with low to moderate user accounts. This is where most of our cross-over sales
are from, in the lower model units. With the amount of junk email flying around out there, even active user accounts under
250 are pulling in substantial amounts of junk and direct harvest attacks.

Kurt,
What firmware are you running?
How many emails are you filtering?
Have you done a "hard reboot" on it lately?
How many Spam emails are you killing per hour? Per day? (There is a Daily
Traffic graph/email that tell you this)
I know mine too (Cuda) is sluggish, but it's the amount of incoming spam
that is bogging us down. We are getting hammered (and have been for months)
by spam in excess of 500,000 per 24 hours.
I will agree - Cuda is a PITA and we will begin testing with Jeremy Davis
this week. He hosts the backend (web hosting, email, radius, Freeside...etc)
for a bunch of other WISPs including SPAM filtering - My fingers are crossed
and if you will holler at me off list later this week I will give you a
report on how things are going.

Has anyone used this spam firewall? http://www.untangle.com
<http://www.untangle.com/> it is free to install on any server. I have
a
Barracuda SF200 and this thing is making me angry. It is so slow I
don't
even bother trying to log into it. It times out constantly and is so
un-responsive. When it does work it takes a min of 30 seconds to change
pages and that's when it is working properly. Its not overloaded I only
got
<200 email addresses and its rated for 500.
I'm looking for anything this Barracuda junk is not worth the $500 year
subscription when you can't even log into it.
