We have a few thousand vendors in our websites database that I would like

What are the limitations/ repercussions of using a sitewide whitelist? If I
have 2000 addresses in the whitelist, will it take an extra 3,30,60,etc.
seconds to process an email? base the performance off of a 2GB RAM 1vCPU
5560 Xeon virtual machine.
What if this list grows to 20000 entries?
It might be more efficient to whitelist them in your MTA at the glue level
- i.e., if an email comes from their MTA, don't even pass it to SA at all.
