There will still be a few requisite packages though it is much nicer 
than a year ago.  I've made SRPMS of them that I can make available if 
they aren't readily available anywhere else.  Armed with the RH RPMS and 
the few additionals, a MIMEDefang install is a piece of cake.  Doing a 
quick spot check, it looks like MIME-tools, IO-stringy and MailTools are 
the required add-on modules.  MIME::Base64 and Digest::SHA1 are included 
with RH9 (Digest::SHA1 may not be installed by default, MIME::Base64 is 
part of the perl-5.8.0 package).
