Barracuda Spam Firewall

Students, faculty, and staff members have a new weapon against unwanted email messages. Barracuda will filter mail for all campus e-mail accounts, before it gets to B-Mail or Exchange. You will be able to view quarantined messages and modify the default settings – allowing more or less mail through the filter.

This webpage is designed to introduce you to the Barracuda spam filtering system and help you set the filters and preferences.  Follow the links on the left for assistance in spam scoring, blacklist and whitelist, and quarantine list settings.

How Does Barracuda Work?

Messages are checked when they arrive and directed to your mailbox or Quarantine based on a score value. You will receive a daily Spam Quarantine Summary email containing a list of all messages Barracuda has quarantined for the day. The email allows you to manage the messages and take measures if legitimate mail is quarantined.

Daily Spam Notification:

You will begin receiving daily reports on the email messages that the Barracuda system has captured as spam. You can use these reports to stay informed about the messages being quarantined. The easiest way to log into Barracuda is by clicking on the link at the bottom of your daily notification.
