I have run into one caveat:  If you were previously using any of the 
RBL checks within SA, the additional DNS overhead incurred by all the 
new header checks is now prohibitive, IMO.  Previously the RBL tests 
ran relatively quickly, but I found Razor etc. too slow.

I'm currently working on getting MD/SA to use only local tests, but 
to additionally use the Bayes stuff.  So far--with very limited 
testing, mind you--it's working extremely well.  I haven't done 
anything WRT using the learn functions from within MIMEDefang--I'm 
currently training with sa-learn on the commandline.
