Not sure, but it definitely helps with spam filtering.  When people 
leave or are terminated, you can figure most or all of their mail is 
spam (after a certain point).

I still think the only effective way to filter spam personally is to 
block everything by default and whitelist what you want to get through. 
  Of course I still have the scars from the last time I mentioned this 
here so I won't say much more.  It's also worthless as a business solution.
