There is no dispute that email has become a key communications tool for corporations. However, with spammers quickly filling your company’s inboxes with unwanted messages, email has become a less efficient means of communicating. In fact, according to predictions by industry analysts, a third of your inbox will be spam by the end of the year, if not already.

What They Say

Barracuda Networks' Spam Firewall won our Editor's Choice award. The company's appliance design goals closely parallel our ideal criteria for an enterprise-class spam filter--a free product that requires no administration and stops 100 percent of spam with no false positives! Of course, Spam Firewall isn't free, but at $0.90 per user, per year for 1,000 users down to just $0.27 per user, per year for 10,000 users, it comes closer to free than any product we tested. The device requires some administration, though not much because it's an appliance. The Web-based admin interface is responsive, simple to use and as close to "set and forget" as possible. Finally, Spam Firewall did well enough to place fifth in our accuracy test, only 3.3 percent behind the leader, and it includes an exceptional mail-quarantine facility to help ensure that no critical messages are missed.
