[Mimedefang] Feature Request

[Michael Lang]

Dear MIMEDefang Team,

my boss and i, discussed about some patching strategies for MIMEDefang
as we are using it in an ISP Enviroment. We have setup an extra RPM for
our Patches to MIMEDefang.pl and its filterFile. 

As this method isnt nice to support, we´d like to request a "include"
Module Feature for MIMEDefang as show in the Patch below.

$ diff -u mimedefang.pl mimedefang.request

 package main;


We are using LDAP as an criteria if the UserAddress gets filtered or
not, which we are including in a seperate Module. 
This Module gets accessed by our filter using its name::function. The
Module itself requires the Recipientlist from the main Package which is
accessed by @main::Recipients, also as the main::md_syslog function.

please update my status on this request.

Kind regards
Michael Lang

Ps.: please feel free to contact me for any questions or code samples.
