Barracuda Spam and Virus Firewall
The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall is an integrated hardware and software solution for complete protection of your email server. It provides a powerful, easy-to-use and affordable solution to eliminating spam and viruses from your organization by providing the following protection:
The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall is compatible
with all email servers and can fit into nearly any corporate or
small business environment. It is used by small organizations with
as few as 10 employees and large organizations with as many as
200,000 employees. A single Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall handles
up to 100,000 active email users. Multiple units can be clustered
together for even greater capacity and high availability.
The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall protects your email server with
twelve defense layers:
- Network Denial of Service Protection

The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall architecture optimizes the processing of each email to maximize performance and process millions of messages per day. Unlike software solutions, the Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall reduces the load placed on the email server by offloading both spam and virus filtering.
In addition, all Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall models include essential outbound filtering techniques including attachment scanning, virus filtering, rate controls and encryption. These features help organizations to ensure that all outgoing email is legitimate and virus-free.
