Performance impact is severe. We used the sockemap -> MIMEDefang path in an older version of our commercial software, but we had to remove it and use a different technique because of the horrible performance. > As I recall the socket map protocol is pretty lightweight but might > still be too slow, in my case it works fine even with about 1/2 mails > per sec. We tend to concentrate our optimizations on medium-sized installations, by which I mean about 25 msgs/second (= about 2 million/day) or higher. The low-end ones aren't worth worrying about just because the load is easily managed.
