No single analytic technique is enough to stop
the constantly morphing forms of spam. Even multiple techniques aren’t
enough to keep spam at bay for long. And rigid scoring often ends up
blocking email that you actually want to receive. Barracuda takes spam
management beyond arbitrary scoring with Barracuda, a
revolutionary evidence evaluation system that identifies the
sender, analyzes the content, and applies a collaborative review to
every email. These methods are 98 percent effective at stopping spam.
Only when all three elements are simultaneously cross-analyzed can you
have true confidence in your solution’s handling of your company’s
email.
Sender, content, and collaborative review are each excellent spam
identifiers. But if only a single method is used, the risk of false
positives increases. However, Barracuda unique cross-analysis
requires that at least two of our independent techniques label a message
as spam before it is marked as definite spam – ensuring no good email is
caught.
Yes and No. All incoming mail is
screened according to the rules of the Barracuda device and by the rules
that you create. Most non-SPAM messages will go directly to your
Inbox folder, just as they did before Barracuda was implemented.
You will be informed of messages that are suspected as being SPAM by a
Spam Quarantine Summary email delivered to your inbox allowing you to
manage these emails. Messages that are confirmed as SPAM either by the
device or by rules that you have created are stopped before they ever
reach your computer.
There is no install or client needed.
Clients can access and manage their Junk Boxes either via the Spam
Quarantine Summary emailed to them, or directly though the web based
login to the Barracuda appliance.
No. The Information Technology
department has received funding to cover the license cost for you.
You need to have an Exchange (email) account or
a student Bearmail account.
Yes.
We have configured the service to send an
email message with the subject of “Daily Spam Quarantine Summary” to
each user once daily. Note that you will only receive this email
if Barracuda has blocked junk email, which is usually everyday.
There
is no need for any rule or configuration setup, corporate defaults
set up by IT are usually adequate and recommended. Users can block
or allow specific senders, or delegate someone to control it for you.
