I currently have postfix as the MTA and the inbound filters through
MailScanner for anti-virus and anti-spam. This machine currently hosts
several other virtual domains (I love Linux tools!) with virtual email
domains.

I will need to look at bypassing the outgoing virus/spam tests for the
mailing lists as the mail will have already been filtered before it is
queued for outbound. That should save a ton of cpu time.
