The four internal servers are a mix - two Sun Solaris, one MS-Exchange
and one Novell GroupWise, with the majority of the users on GroupWise.

I'll investigate the -bv switch.

What about my suggestion of running two instances of MD, since I
already have two instances of sendmail running?  I was looking at the
configs last night, and it looks like I could do the following:
- create /var/spool/MIMEDefang1 and /var/spool/MIMEDefang2
- In the milter line on Sendmail1, point the socket to
/var/spool/MIMEDefang1 
- In the milter line on Sendmail2, point the socket to
/var/spool/MIMEDefang2
- Start two instances of MD, with the socket defined using the -m
switch to be MIMEDefang1 and MIMEDefang2 respectively.

Any problems with doing that?
