The Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound includes all the features needed to eliminate your outbound spam and protect against virus proliferation.
The Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound is easily deployed and quickly installed. It is compatible with all email servers and can fit into nearly any corporate or small business environment. It can replace any existing outbound mail relay and sits between your client machines and the Internet. It can also be used by remote workers as a reliable mail relay.
Powerful, Enterprise-Class Solution
The Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound is a powerful enterprise-class solution that provides outbound email protection in three key ways:
- Stops virus proliferation
- Enforces corporate policies
- Prevents spamming
No organization, especially no ISP, wants to be the source of viruses or spam. It not only puts a tremendous strain on the company's network, but it's also damaging to the organization's reputation. The Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound ensures that all email leaving the network is virus-free and legitimate. It prevents people from unintentionally or intentionally using the organization's network to send viruses or spam.
The Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound also helps ensure that employees are in compliance with government regulations and corporate information policies. With laws that now govern how or when companies are able to disseminate sensitive information, it is critical for companies to monitor emails for regulatory compliance. But even absent such regulations, it makes good business sense to enforce corporate information policies and protect intellectual property from being inappropriately disseminated.
Affordable
The Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound is the most affordable solution for outbound email protection. With no per user license fees, the Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound is affordable for businesses of all sizes—from small organizations to global ISPs and enterprises.
Virus Outbreak Protection
The Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound can identify users that have a virus and can stop it before it is disseminated, preventing viruses from being sent to users outside the corporate network. A variety of methods including dual layer virus blocking, file type blocking, and decompression of archives is used for such virus outbreak protection.
Multilingual Support
The Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound can detect and block outbound spam in more than ten languages and features a user interface available in Chinese (simplified and traditional), German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Czech and English.
Corporate and Regulatory Policy Enforcement
Organizations must make sure that intellectual property and other confidential information is protected. Heightened awareness surrounding government regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and Gramm-Leach-Bliley, have increased the need for organizations to take a more proactive role in policing what information is disseminated through email. The Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound is designed to enforce such policies through footer attachment, scanning and filtering, keyword and attachment blocking. In addition, the Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound enables the administrator to set quarantine parameters for questionable email that can be reviewed and released, or blocked as needed. Quarantine notifications can be sent on a weekly/daily basis to alert administrator to take action against questionable email. The Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound can also journal messages sent through the Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound.
Protection Against Spam Proliferation
In the last year a growing number of spam operations have employed unsuspecting open relays to send spam. This practice often goes unnoticed by the IT staff until problems, such as server overload or blacklisting, disrupts regular email communication. The Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound uses advanced rate control features to thwart zombie PCs and alert the IT staff of the affected organization any time a large quantity of email attempts to leave the network. The hijacked machine can then be shut down before the bulk of spam is sent. In addition to rate controls, the Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound also uses domain restrictions, IP restrictions and user authentication to prevent outbound spam.

Outbound mode Standard Deployment Configuration
The standard deployment configuration consists of a single email server
and a single Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound. Simply connect the
Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound to your network by assigning it a
new IP address and changing your mail server's MTA to point to the
Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound. Alternatively, you may block all
outbound port 25 traffic on your firewall to only allow traffic from
the Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound.
The Barracuda Spam Firewall-Outbound can also support multiple email servers and
multiple domains and may be used in environments where there are
multiple email server locations. We recommend a Barracuda Spam
Firewall-Outbound for each location that contains an email
server.
