Thank you for that clarification.

Now, about logging - I'd be really grateful if the existing logging
functionality could be extended in a way so that the pre-queue
content filter's response is logged.

I know that it is actually the content filter's job to log what it did
during an ESMTP transaction, but I think if Postfix logged the
filter's response, correlating logs would be much easier.

By default, the Postfix requires 1.5*message_size_limit of free
space before it accepts mail.

Right now, the before-proxy scratch files are put in the incoming
queue, but that may still chnage.

I didn't change the formula (to 2.5*message_size_limit) for that
reason.

If I understood the release notes correctly, with "smtpd_proxy_options
= speed_adjust", each smtpd process will keep the message it's
currently receiving in a temporary file. That seems to imply that
there could be

(number of smtpd processes) * message_size_limit

bytes of queue space allocated in temporary files. I _think_ that this
is not different from a setup without a content filter  which would
mean I don't have to increase the disk partition keeping the queue -
is that assumption correct?
