This is a feature we're considering adding to our commercial CanIt
product, because we already have a SQL database back-end.

I don't plan on adding it to standard MIMEDefang, because it will
introduce dependencies on some kind of database system and yet another
file that has to live somewhere.  However, it should be pretty easy to
whip up a Berkeley-DB based cache.
