[ale] Email system

[Chris Fowler]

I'm in the need to figure out a new method of email, that does no 
include Exchange.

Currently I use CentOS to fetch all our our mail from our provider and 
store locally.  Users then use IMAPS and SMTP to receive and send.

We get hammered with Spam that has nasty attachments.   One user asked 
me what we could do about this.  My thought is that I'm going to have to 
install a real commercial SPAM firewall.  I also looked at Google 
business email.  My options currently are to look at purchasing a 
Baracuda appliance to cut down on the crap or use Google email services.

With the Baracuda I'll stop fetching mail from the provider and smiply 
chane our DNS MX records to send mail directly.  I'm not sure how it 
will feed email to my mail system or if it is the IMAP/SMTP server.  
Anyone use one of these devices?

Chris
