I have really not had any problems with that. I have the settings so that
users can only send 100 emails a day. That prevents any bad SPAM attacks and
by not scanning outbound email I gain speed which has been an issue.

However now that I have moved to 5210R I need to look at moving to Postfix
which is much faster as I understand it.

Has anyone made the change from Sendmail to Post fix on a box with a lot of
users? Do I have to change the mailbox to maildir at the same time or can I
leave MBOX until I am sure Postfix is working well?

Thanks,
