Just compile from source.  It's not very hard.

Or you can apply this patch to mimedefang.pl.  (I pulled it out of
git; it may or may not apply cleanly to your version.)  The patch is
actually against mimdefang.pl.in, but just change all occurences of
that to mimedefang.pl to get it to apply.

David.
