Postfix is not the bottleneck in mail hygiene.  When I said Postfix
was a potential bottleneck, I'm only talking about mail delivery.
AV/AS scanning is on a separate cluster of servers and is a whole
different kettle of worms :-)

I do question the wisdom of anything front-ending a high-quality
MTA - one of the reasons I use Postfix is *because* the protocol
speakers are written so well and are so high performing.
