1. You should notice less incoming spam. The server is now checking all incoming mail against blacklists at http://spamhaus.org/sbl/ and http://njabl.org/ This is very effective in reducing spam. The downside is that some legitimate senders use the same blacklisted Internet addresses as the spammers. At least, if that happens, an error message sent back to the sender does have a short explanation.

2. Your outgoing emails now can contain a maximum of 20 recipients. Some spammers try to deliver messages to thousands of recipients at once; this prevents that. If a message comes in with more than the allowed number, the excess recipients are rejected. The recipients under the limit are accepted and get delivered; the excess recipients get retried later, if the sending system is a real standards-conforming mailer. The spammers are not running real mailers, so they won't retry.

3. Your outgoing emails now have a size limit of 5MB.
