But, that would mean though that any changes to accounts on the Exchange
server(s) would not be reflected until the next time the script runs. Using
milter-ahead or smf-sav makes it dynamic rather than static.

I did look at smf-sav and while it worked good, there was a problem that
made it so I decided to license milter-ahead instead - don't recall for
sure, but I think it was that it uses null sender or postmaster as the MAIL
FROM on lookups, whereas, milter-ahead can be configured to use the
original MAIL FROM - which suits my needs better. Probably could add that
support to smf-sav, but since milter-ahead already did it, I went route.
