The speed–filtering tradeoff at a glance
Slow scanning delays emails; over-aggressive filters block good mail. Tune settings and monitor performance.
When delays hit revenue
One e-commerce company lost $20,000 in a single day because their order confirmations were delayed three hours. The culprit? Overloaded scanning queues in their email security system. Customers thought their orders had failed and bought elsewhere.
The hidden cost of over-filtering
On the other hand, overly strict filters can block legitimate emails, causing missed opportunities and frustrated clients.
