[Mimedefang] various mimedefang issues

I am using the following:
SunOS 5.8/sparc (64-bit)
gcc 3.3.1 (64-bit)
SpamAssassin 2.6.0
mimedefang 2.37
1) mimedefang + multiplexor - perl processes SIGBUS'ing
A truss of the perl process doesn't seem to shed too much light
on why it is dying, other than it always seem to be preceded by
several brk()'s. It doesn't do it after every mail message
scanned, either, but always after a few (3 or so). Is this a
memory leak?
2) SpamAssassin
After reading all of the special information about using
SpamAssassin (several times actually), since it says to read it
before posting to the list, :-), I am still confused as to how
to get this to work. I see the entry into the SA module and the
Spam-Score header it returns, and that MD deletes that, but I
am still not sure what I need to do get MD to quarantine it. I
added the begin filter lines, too. Can someone send me his/her
configuration?
I assumed that this gets asked over and over again, but I am
not seeing any questions on this. If someone could point me to
the relevant documents, I would appreciate it.
3) Bouncing
I know that people have strong opinions on this, but I am a big
fan of immediately rejecting unwanted email, versus queuing &
than bouncing, discarding or qurantining it. Do I need to add
some special sendmail.cf stuff to get that to work?
Thanks for any hints...
Brian
