Can't speak for Steve, but when I finally did it here I saw about a
30-40% decrease in the number of messages accepted by sendmail.  Had to
add a couple of servers to the access file, but only a couple.  The rest
were zombies as nearly as I can tell.  It's a simple addition with a
huge impact as far as I'm concerned...
