Glad to see this post. We current have a cuda in front of our mail server and are now purchasing one for the listserver. 

For starters each list will have to be a user in the cuda. 

And I believe that is all that will be needed to be done. 

Just my opinion like I said we have not set ours up yet.

Subject: A Listserv behind a spam firewall



We recently put up a Barracuda spam firewall and I would like to know if

anyone out there has compiled best practices for running a Listserv in

that

way.



Yes, I know the Listserv has anti-spam protection. However on lists that

are

set up to send all posts to a moderator, it appears to ignore whether

the

message is spam and it sends the message approval requests anyway. I

would

like to use the Barracuda to stop those as well. 



The Barracuda can suppress daily spam summary messages, so we wouldn't

have

to worry about a daily summary message going to the members of all the

lists. It can also send the daily spam summary messages to a specific

address. Does anyone have experience with either configuration? How well

did

it work?



Does anyone have any methods that don't involve using an external

antispam

firewall to stop these unwanted approval requests full of spam?
