Then why do you think MIMEDefang failed?

First three ways to fix this that comes to my mind:

* Raise the mail clients time out.

* Have a purely queueing MSA daemon that the clients connect to.

* Move the processing out of the milter stuff.

I've allready answered that question in one of your previoes 
threads...

There's a num,ber of ways you could do this. The first two that 
comes to my mind:

* Use a purely queueing sendmail listener that queues to a 
separated directory. Then make an app that reads this queue, 
process the mails and moves them to the normal sendmail queue.

* Have your MIMEDefang filter catch the mails that needs to be 
processed, save them to a queue. Then make an app that reads this 
queue, process the mails and requeues the mail. Make sure to 
implement something to avoid looping.
