The standalone Email Security option is available for purchase only through the Barracuda Self-Service Gateway or Barracuda MSP.

Click Set up additional domains to go to the Barracuda Email Security Service Domains page, or continue with your configuration. BARRACUDA EMAIL SECURITY SERVICE Step 1. Set Up User Accounts You can add users manually, or use LDAP or Azure AD authentication to automatically synchronize the Barracuda Email Security Service with your active directory server. To create a few test accounts during the evaluation period, use the Manually Add Users steps. Manually Add Users Click to manually add users... 1. Go to Users > Add/Update Users: 2. In the User Accounts field, enter each user email address for the domain on a separate line, and then select from the following options: 1. Enable User Quarantine All emails for the user which meet the configured block policy go to the user's quarantine account. Depending on how you have configured the quarantine notification interval on the Users > Quarantine Notification page, the user receives a quarantine digest at a specified time. From the Users > Quarantine Notification page you can also enable the user to set their own quarantine notification interval. 3. 2. Notify New Users When set to Yes, users receive a welcome email once the account is created. Click Save Changes. The users are added to the Users > Users List table where you can select from the following actions: 1. Edit Click to specify domains this user can manage. 2. Reset Click to send the user an email with instructions on how to reset their account password. 3. Log in as this user Click to view or change the user's settings (for example, quarantine notifications), view/manage the domains this user manages, and v iew/search/manage the user's Message Log. 4. Delete Click to remove the user account. 1 / 13
The first time the Barracuda Email Security Service receives an Allowed email for a non-existent user at a domain configured for the service, if that same recipient receives a second email 1-6 days later, a new user account is created. This method of new account creation does not use LDAP lookup, and the user receives an email from the Barracuda Email Security Service with their login information so they can access their quarantine account. Automatically Add Users You can configure user authentication via your organization's LDAP server or Azure AD service. For complete setup details, see the following articles: How to Configure User Authentication with Azure AD How to Configure User Authentication Using LDAP Step 2. Add Additional Email Domains Use the steps in this section only if you want to manually add additional email domains, otherwise, go to Step 3. Create Transport Rule.

Enter the hostname: Barracuda recommends using a hostname rather than an IP address so that you can move the destination mail server and update DNS records without making changes to the Barracuda Email Security Service configuration. This address indicates where the Barracuda Email Security Service should direct inbound mail from the Internet to your Office 365 Exchange server. For example, your domain displays to the Internet as: bessdomain.mail.protection.outlook.com 1. Log in to the Barracuda Email Security Service as administrator, and click Domains, and click Add Domain. 2. Enter the domain name and destination mail server hostname obtained from your Office 365 account in the dialog box. 3. Click Add; the Domain Settings page displays. Step 3.

For additional configuration options and features, log in to the web interface and click Help. Step 6. Configure Sender Policy Framework for Outbound Mail To assure Barracuda Networks is the authorized sending mail service of outbound mail from your Barracuda Email Security Service, add the following to the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record INCLUDE line of the SPF record for your sending mail server for each domain sending outbound mail. Select the relevant SPF INCLUDE based on the region you selected for your Barracuda Email Security Service. For example, if you are using Office 365, your record would look similar to: v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.ess.barracudanetworks.com -all See Sender Authentication for more information. If you have an SPF record set up for your domain, edit the existing record, and add the following to the INCLUDE line for each domain sending outbound mail based on your Barracuda Email Security Service instance. For example: include:spf.ess.barracudanetworks.com -all If you do not have an SPF record set up for your domain, use the following value to create a TXT record that creates a HARDFail SPF for your domain based on your Barracuda Email Security Service instance. For example: v=spf1 include:spf.ess.barracudanetworks.com -all See Sender Policy Framework for Outbound Mail for INCLUDE values based on your Barracuda Email Security 11 / 13
