Yes, CanIt uses MIMEDefang as it's core, wrapped with a web GUI and a 
database backend for clustering.  I'm using CanIt Pro to filter email for 
71 school districts in Western NY with great success.  I have had very few 
problems, and Roaring Penguin provides great support.  I did set up a 
MIMEDefang box before investigating CanIt Pro and liked the way it works 
(see previous messages about milter operation).  CanIt Pro has also proved 
to be very cost effective for our organization in addition to doing a 
great job filtering mail.

Even though I use CanIt, I read the MD list because I find it fascinating, 
and I learn a lot, but I don't touch any of the code samples, even though 
I could since CanIt comes with full source code.
