-------------------------------------------------------That's not Barracuda's
fault. All NDRs can be turned off. Barracuda
even has a PDF about reducing backscatter:

f
I suppose you can blame Barracuda for having it ON by default, or got
not having complexity to determine if it's a forged sender and not send
an NDR to them (only valid senders). Since the Barracuda can be
configured to block a message all togther, which means it never gets
tagged or delivered to a quarantine, a sender never known their e-mail
was blocked if you turn off the NDRs, which isn't ideal IMO, but you
need to turn them off to prevent backscatter.
IMO, The Barracuda is a great box, especially given the cost. Since I
put it in place, out of 48 million total e-mails, I have 41 million
spams blocked, 2 million quarantined/tagged. Leaving only 5 million
valid e-mails. That's without tbe bayesian filter being on, since I
didn't feel like properly training it.
It requires little to none admin side support. It lets the end user
manage their quarantines and allow/block lists (if that's what you are
after). Initial training of the Bayesian filter is the only admin
intensive piece if you choose to do so.

-------------------------------------------------------FYI on the Cuda':
With the currant virus wave, I am seeing tons of back scatter because
they insist on sending out notices to forged senders.
Something to think about.
