I said I was a small setup: I run a personal system, organised as a house server, which accepts all incoming mail and only runs SA against the incoming stream, with some other boxes on the LAN. These send outbound mail via the house server. The central MTA (Postfix on the house server) sends all messages it receives to a single mailbox, which Dovecot makes available to other hosts on the LAN, and also BCCs them to a mail archive. This, a Postgres DB, also acts as as an automatic whitelister: SA runs a query against it that whitelists any address I've sent mail to. I realise my setup is almost entirely unlike yours, but there seem to be some common requirements. However, as always, the devil is in the detail and my implementation may well fail at your volumes. Question to JH: I can see that portmanteau rules on high volume sites would benefit from the (?=x) optimisation, but so would a lot of rules that use regexes containing alternations. So, is there any possibility of slotting it into the SA rule compiler rather than me implementing it as part of my portmanteau rule generator when doing the latter would limit its use to a subset of rules that might benefit.
