Since we use Sendmail exclusively, I'm afraid I don't follow the Postfix 
forums.

I'm not sure about the bandwidth, shouldn't be much more than a few 
bytes...perhaps equivalent to a DNS query or two. As for the time delay, 
we're not noticing any delay. According to our logs, most of this 
happens within the very second the mail gets to our server; a fraction 
of a second (or even a couple of seconds) delay is certainly worth it, IMHO.

We're experiencing great success with this additional tool against the 
spammers.
