Are there any performance considerations?
The usual performance considerations, which apply to every pre-queue content filter - see README_FILES/CONTENT_INSPECTION_README in Postfix documentation. In particular, the number of incoming smtp sessions is at least an order of magnitude larger than what would be needed for a post-queue content filter, which brings serious limitations to any site larger than a home or small office size. Furthermore, amavisd-new is not exactly a TRANSPARENT proxy. It comes close at times, may work most of the time, but there are no guarantees. Such a setup is not supported officially.
