Don't need backports.

I succesfully recompiled the mimedefang package from testing, on a stable
stystem then installed it on a stable system. Tested it, and it works.


Why did I do this?
I like mimedefang, and I like debian, and I wanted to learn how to rebuild
custom packages on debian, this was a chance to learn how to
build/rebuild.

Contact me off list and I will give you explicit directions on how to
install mimedefang-2.38 on a debian stable system with no programming or
what not.

This is easy to do.

Or if anyone thinks this is on topic enough, I will post it.

Took about 2 hours to figure out, just did a chroot build install then
rebuild mimedefang.
and 5 minutes to accomplish.
Didn't have to configure jack on sendmail or mimedefang. Besides setting
sendmail to be a null client, and add MILTER entry to sendmail.mc
