Hi,

This one has lots of goodies.  You need to download *two* files:

http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/MIME-tools-5.411a-RP-Patched-02.tar.gz

http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/mimedefang-2.22-BETA-4.tar.gz

(You need a new version of MIME::Tools to use the $MaxMIMEParts feature.)
The major new features since 2.22-BETA-3:

o You can set $MaxMIMEParts in your filter (outside any subroutine) to
  limit parsing to that many parts.  Any message with more than that many
  parts is bounced (and _no_ filter_xxx() routines are called.)

  This feature is a good workaround for DoS attacks from messages with
  huge numbers of parts

o Included John Kirkland's "graphdefang" version 0.3 in contrib/

Full changelog from 2.22-BETA-3 follows.

Regards,

David.

	* mimedefang.pl.in: Added $MaxMIMEParts variable to terminate parsing
	and bounce the message if there are more than $MaxMIMEParts parts.
	This does *NOT* work unless you use our specially-patched MIME::Tools
	package, MIME-tools-5.411a-RP-Patched-02 or newer.

	* Update contrib/graphdefang to version 0.3 (John Kirkland)

	* Execute "rm" to clean up on systems which lack readdir_r

	* Fix bug in "RAV" anti-virus invocation (was Linux-specific)
