What if the Barracuda SPAM firewall isn 100% sure an email message is spam?
After an email message goes through its 10 layers of tests, the Barracuda SPAM Firewall assigns it a spam probability number. If Barracuda is 100% sure the email message is spam, it will be blocked. You’ll never see blocked messages so you won’t have to waste your time sifting through these spam messages. When Barracuda is about 50%-99% sure a message is spam, it will quarantine the message. Quarantined messages are saved on the Barracuda firewall for your review. See question #1 for accessing the quarantine. If the Barracuda is less than 50% sure a message is spam, it will tag the message by adding “[BULK]” to the subject line and deliver the message to GroupWise. A good example of an uncertain message might be an email from Amazon. The Barracuda sometimes has a difficult time knowing whether an email from Amazon.com is a receipt of purchase or an advertisement.
