Thanks.  It helps not to have a life, I guess. :-)

People who buy CanIt are usually not willing to set up MIMEDefang (and
vice-versa), although there is a bit of overlap.  There's a large
market segment that is willing to pay for convenience, a nice GUI, all
the extra little CanIt anti-spam tricks, and official support.  Plus,
all the MIMEDefang users make a terrific test base to ensure the
commercial product is stable.  (Nice knowing you're all guinea pigs,
isn't it? :-))
