March 6, 2008 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — IT management software firm SmarterTools (smartertools.com) announced on Thursday that it has integrated Barracuda Networks’ (barracuda.com) spam firewall into the SmarterMail Windows Mail Server.
The Barracuda spam firewall is an integrated hardware and software solution designed to protect email servers from spam, virus, spoofing, phishing and spyware attacks, says the company, and uses 12 defense layers to provide industry-leading defense capabilities for email servers within large corporate or small business environments.
“Barracuda spam firewalls are the most widely used spam filtering appliance by leading organizations around the world,” says Jeff Hardy, vice president of SmarterTools. “Businesses and hosted environments that prefer protections in addition to SmarterMail’s robust security and anti-spam features can effectively implement both products together and get a premier Windows mail server coupled with an award winning spam filtering appliance.”
With over 15 million end users, SmarterTools says that it has become the cost-effective alternative to Microsoft Exchange with advanced collaboration and synchronization capabilities.
Last month, DiscountASP.NET integrated SmarterTools’ SmarterMail APIs into its open control panel.
