I agree, however some of my users may say otherwise ;) 

I was thinking about scanning all messages <2MB durring the SMTP 
session, and then scanning the few larger ones off-line at low 
priority.  Currently I just don't scan anything > 5MB.

Do you get many complaints about false positives?  Roughly how many 
users do you have?

I prefer to do most of my antispam in the SMTP envelope, before the DATA 
phase.  It's just a waste of bandwidth otherwise.  Do you know if 
greylisting in ASSP does this?
