Bill,

   If you are using a MIMEdefang version < 2.42 then you will have 
problems.  Since you seemed to have run an earlier version of 3.00000 
then I am curious as to why you either (1) got the earlier version to 
work or (2) didn't get the pre2 to work.  So, I guess the first thing to 
check is to see if you are running Mimedefang 2.42 or higher.

   I've been using SA-3.x for almost 3 months now with great success.  
The only real SA/Mimedefang issue that I had was a change in the SA 
Application Interface.  I received failures in the sendmail log due to 
the fact that mimedefang quit unexpectedly due to this API change.  Once 
David integrated the minor change into mimedefang, things worked great.
