[Technic] Barracuda Hellp

[chris warden]

We have a 200 with a little over 100 email users. We use Zimbra for our email (and also use Zimbra's spam filtering as a second layer). We haven't had any issues with the spam firewall, and haven't had the need for per user settings/quarantine. Our spam firewall is currently showing as blocking 88% of incoming email due to spam and/or virus.

We have a 200 with 350 e-mail users.  We are using a novell 6.5
groupwise server.

So far it has been great!  We did have gwava before this and it
performed well below our expectations.  Now our users receive very
little spam.

We are looking to purchase a Barracuda Spam Firewall and I am concerned
of 
the need for the 300 versus the 200.

Either of these will handle the number of email accounts that we have.

The only difference I can see in the specs is that the 300 has per user

settings and quarantine and Microsoft Exchange 5.5/2000/2003 LDAP
Message 
Accelerator.

We are not using Exchange, our mail server is a Linux based box made by

Cobalt.

Could anyone give me suggestions or experience with either of the
Barracude 
boxes.
