[Mimedefang] Accuracy of infected IP in mdlog

Ok I missed that point.

> Before you decide to not trust MIMEDefang's log lines, it would be a good idea for you to find out what they are supposed to contain. Nowhere in trhe docs for MIMEDefang does it say *anything* about MIMEDefang logging the IPs of infected computers.

Again I thought it was that...

It doesn't analyze them, you are right.

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought mimedefang was more than just milter
who pass mails to clamav/spamassassin.

I thought we can do some correlation about headers, validating from fields,
validating Helo, and other things.

Maybe it does not exist right now, but it's maybe a good idea to try
to correlate some information in the HEADERS, if it's possible.

By no mean I'm saying that I can do it, but I suggest it.
I don't know if it's possible, I believe it is, I might be wrong.
