Even with the latest beta, which tries to pace the spawning of slaves?

In theory, it can be; you can supply a tcp connection for mimedefang's
"-p" flag. Milter has some syntax for doing this:
mimedefang -p inet:port at hostname
So if you want mimedefang to listen on port 9989, I think you do this:
mimedefang -p inet:9989
In the Sendmail config file, the connection is
Xmimedefang, S=inet:9989 at 192.168.3.12, ...
assuming Mimedefang is running on 192.168.3.12
mimedefang and mimedefang-multiplexor and all the slaves must run on
the same machine, but they can run on a different machine than sendmail.
