Has anyone looked at integrating MIMEDefang with qpsmtp  
(http://develooper.com/code/qpsmtpd/)?  This is a pure-perl smtp
listener intended as a replacement for qmail-smtpd that avoids any
licensing issues and provides some of MIMEDefang's functionality.
It would be great if it could just use MIMEDefang's code directly as the
backend so the filter code could be consistent across servers.  (I run
sendmail at our main site but have some remote offices using qmail
because it is included in the e-smith Linux distributions running there).
