Not a good idea, since maila.microsoft.com doesn't have your userlist in, normal internet delay WILL push some email to it, and if you do, normal email will bounce with 55x unknown user, or unable to relay. On a second note, I have secondary server, doing a lot of great header checks, RFC checks, and SPF checks, and with that, I can prove that it does a better job on blocking spam than SA, with 90% of the resources. (however, it also blocks an unacceptable amount of REAL email!) SA does a reasonable job of the balance between blocking spam and allowing real email through.
