We have the Barracuda and it blocks about everything except Veretekk messages for some reason.

My boyfriend's company uses Ironmail and it catches Veretekk spam! He is the webmaster and signed up for a "blast" of his company's website to the search engines. Once he signed up for the blast, he started getting a lot of spam at work. He was afraid of being fired because of all the spam the Veretekk and Veremail guys would send him every day. The Ironmail antispam appliance worked wonders he said.

Anyone tried any of these antispam appliances and can recommend best bang for the buck? I bet they all work about the same but charge more or less depending on the name on the cover.

I have a cuda as well but the place I have been dealing with lately is screwing things up. The place has just been really unstable and just FMI I am confused, do you mean you want to block EMAIL spam or just spam like spyware and whatnot?

I am mainly looking for something that blocks SPAM emails. If these appliances block more than SPAM mail, that would be great! I am just sick and tired of all the junk that comes every day. One user in our organization gets more SPAM than all of us put together get useful mail.
