Navigating From Firmware Release 3.5 to 4.0Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall

Copyright 2004-2009, Barracuda Networks Inc. Page 1 of 6

With the Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall firmware release 4.0 comes a new improved Web interfaceand layout, including animated tabs allowing the user to hover the mouse over the tab to see the page

titles available without clicking on the tab.

Some settings have been moved to different tabs and pages to group related features together, and thenew interface provides the ability to drill down to domain level administration from which domainconfiguration, user account and quarantine inbox administration is managed. This document will walk youthrough these changes to get you quickly on your way.

Feature updates

Requeuing email: For email that is waiting in the Out queue, clicking the Retry at the bottom ofthe BASIC > Administration page will initiate the process to retry sending the messagesimmediately. The button will then be disabled until the requeue process has completed.

Single Sign-On:o Single Sign-On is now a per-domain offering and not configurable at the global level.

Realms are no longer used.o The Administrator or a Domain Admin can configure Single Sign-On from the USERS >

Single Sign-On page when editing a domain.o Fully qualified domain names are now required when logging into a users quarantine

inbox via Single Sign-On.

Submit to Barracuda Central: From the BASIC > Message Log page, when you click the Spam,Not Spam, Whitelist or Un-Whitelist buttons, the resulting pop-up includes an option to forwardthe selected message(s) to Barracuda Central for analysis and classification by BarracudaCentral engineers.

Upon upgrade to firmware release 4.0, Bayesian filtering is turned OFF by default. Consequentlythe Spam and Not Spam buttons will NOT appear on the Message Log page until afterenablingBayesian from the BASIC > Spam Checking page.

In firmware release 4.0, full Outbound Mode is not supported, though it will be in a future firmwarerelease.

Re-grouping of Features

To make the Web interface more intuitive and easier to use, some features have been grouped togetherand as such appear on different pages than in previous firmware releases. These changes include:

All features related to Spam Filtering policy have been grouped on the BASIC > Spam Checkingpage, including Fingerprint, Image, Intent and Bayesian. The BASIC > Bayesian/Intent page hasbeen removed.

All SMTP protocol settings have been grouped on the ADVANCED > Email Protocol page.

All features specific to domains are now scoped under the DOMAINS tab in a sub-section of theWeb interface. This section includes some of the same tabs and pages as the global scope of theWeb interface.

A subset of the tabs and pages i.e. BASIC, USERS, etc. available in the global scope isavailable for each domain from which you can configure all domain-specific features.

All Outbound Relay and Smart Host settings have been grouped on the ADVANCED > Outboundpage.
