Following is detailed information on the features of the CudaMail
service:
A team of security engineers at Barracuda Central continuously
monitors the Internet for trends in Spam and Virus attacks.
As they detect trends, Energize Updates are created and
distributed to the CudaMail service and all Barracuda Spam
Firewalls.
Each Barracuda unit is automatically updated with new Spam rules,
Spam algorithms, and Virus definitions, each hour.
These updates require zero administration and ensure that your
network has comprehensive and accurate protection even as the
methods of attack change.
The CudaMail service uses the
Barracuda Spam Firewall and its ten-layer defense system. Here are some
of the unbeatable features that you will have access to using our service:
- Anti-Spam – The algorithms and methods used by the CudaMail
service and the Barracuda Spam Firewall are the most comprehensive and
most advanced in the industry at detecting and filtering spam resulting
in the lowest rate of false positives.
- Anti-Virus – By utilizing dual layer virus blocking,
decompression of archives and file type blocking, the anti-virus engine
used by the CudaMail service and the Barracuda Spam Firewall provides
complete virus protection.
- Anti-spoofing – This technology prevents the use of forged or
"spoofed" sender addresses on unsolicited email. The anti-spoofing
feature also allows larger organizations to specify a list of IP
addresses that are allowed to have a "From" address that appears from
inside the organization to support multiple sites and multiple email
servers.
- Anti-phishing – The CudaMail service and the Barracuda Spam
Firewall provides robust protection against phishing schemes which are
often used to gather confidential information about an organization or
its individual users.
- Anti-spyware (Attachments) – All attachments are scanned and
any spyware executables are detected and eliminated immediately.
- Denial of Service Protection – Rate controls are utilized to
stop denial of service attacks as well as dictionary based Spam attacks.
These rate control systems are integrated and automatic in the CudaMail
service and the Barracuda Spam Firewall.
End-User Control Features and Settings
The CudaMail service has many individual settings and configurations
available to make the end-user's experience a truly tailored email solution.
- User Based Filtering – The CudaMail service can be
configured to set Spam policies by the end user on an individualized
basis or on the global domain level.
- Personal Allow and Block Lists – The CudaMail service can
be configured to allow end users to have control over their
individual allow and block lists which further reduces the chance of
false positives.
- End-User Quarantine – The CudaMail service provides the
ability to setup quarantine mailboxes where users can direct
questionable email for later review. This greatly reduces the
support load for large organizations.
- Quarantine Digest Emails – A daily email is sent to all
end users with a quarantine account summarizing the contents of
their individual quarantine mailboxes. End-users do not have to
remember any passwords or user IDs to access their quarantine
mailbox; each summary account email is an html document with direct
links pointing to the end-users quarantine mailbox with the
appropriate verification embedded.
More Service Features
At Optrics Engineering, we realize that your network infrastructure
is important to the daily working of your company. This is why we also
offer the following features as part of our CudaMail service:
- Compatible with all Email Servers – The CudaMail service
is independent of the type of mail server you are using.
- Microsoft Exchange / LDAP Accelerator – The Accelerator
protects your mail server from dictionary attacks by using an LDAP
query to check that the recipient of a new message has a mailbox on
the mail server. If the LDAP query doesn't return a result, the
appliance generates an NDR (non-delivery report) and returns the
mail to the sender without wasting cycles on your mail server.
- Mail Server Monitoring / Reporting – You will be notified
(by pager, alternate email address, or text message) when your mail
server goes down so that you know when and why we cannot deliver
email to your server.
- Up to 48 Hours of Mailbagging – Should your mail server
go down we will queue your mail for up to 48 hours so that you do
not lose critical information and communications.
- Redundant Backup Spam Filter – Our service has true
Geographic Redundancy built in (backup filter across the city)
which means that if anything happens to the primary Spam and Virus
filter, we will failover to our secondary filter and you will
continue to receive uninterrupted service.
-
Destination Failover: allows you to specify either a
second mail server or a second internet link for load balancing
or fail over. Should there be a problem with your primary mail
server or link, the CudaMail service can still deliver mail to
you usuing your backup link.
