tmda-ofmipd is not strictly necessary, but I highly recommend it.  It
does a few super-handy things that make TMDA more "transparent" and
therefore more convenient.  For example:

* Most people configure their outgoing filter such that when you send
mail to someone who is not on your lists, it tags your message with a
dated address.  That way, the receiving user can reply in a reasonable
amount of time without ever having to confirm.

* Your outgoing filter can be configured to tag messages based on who
you are sending mail to.  This is handy when using mailing lists to tag
your posts with keyworded addresses.  ( Check out my tutorial on setting
up tmda-cgi to work with mailing lists at:
http://tmda.sourceforge.net/tmda-cgi/t_anticipating.html#MailingLists )

If your users do not have shell access, or are not comfortable working
in a Linux shell, then tmda-cgi is a must.  You could still run without
it, but the users would have to come to you for help whenever they
needed something tweaked.

Also, keep in mind that you may have to play with your whitelist's group
and permissions, depending on who can modify this file.  If you allow
confirmations to append to this list then TMDA will need to be able to
change the file, regardless of whom it is launched as.
