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. -----Original Message----- From: Anne Toal <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2007 10:55:39 To:[log in to unmask] 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? -aht
