Checking outgoing mail is pointless. Why bother?
So you can reduce malware propagation? (And as a result, maybe not
end up on everyone's local blacklist for spewing garbage...)
It is still pointless and a waste of processing power.
A waste of processing power to help keep your server's reputation out of
the ranks of the spammers? To help keep your server off, not only
well-trusted public blacklists, but off local admins' *local* blacklists
and firewalls?
On average, for anything larger than a trivial personal system, you'll
have to spend the CPU power on one side or the other; you might as well
gain the benefit of not spewing quite as much junk from your network by
scanning outbound mail.
