Re: Filtering outgoing email

[Joe Vieira <jvieira () CLARKU EDU>]

We've had good luck with it. Anytime we see a address that isn't in the
list we add it and so do tons of other folks.

It really does't do anything to slow our mail down... just a big ol'
postfix map. postfix is super fast. antivirus scanning is the limiting
factor in mail delivery usually.

If you environment is already at capacity then you might have issues,
but other than that i doubt you would see any issues.
