Can the Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall also protect against spyware threats?
The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall is designed to protect the email server and filter spam and viruses from all SMTP traffic entering the network via port 25. As such, the Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall only protects the email stream. The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall does include blocking of spyware programs that are attached to email, however, it does not provide general blocking and detection of spyware like the Barracuda Web Filter does. The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall normally sits in front of your email server and receives and processes only your email stream. The Barracuda Web Filter, on the other hand, sits at your Internet gateway and processes ALL of your Internet traffic.
