If your business requires you to do it, then you really don't have a choice. However if it's something that your boss thinks "would be cool" then you need to weigh your options.
Basically, when you turn on journaling in Exchange 5.5, it forces all emails to go through the MTA, even the ones within the same server. So, it'll increase the load on your MTA. If you will be doing it on the server where all your mailboxes reside, you will essentially be keeping two copies of every message sent or received, so you may want to make sure that your IS has enough room to grow. This stress can be eliminated if you systematically archive/delete older stuff that is journaled. Still the million dollar question is, what is your boss hoping to accomplish?

Can anyone provide any insight on pro's/con's and/or pitfalls to doing this?
