I suppose that, if you don't have problems, 2.71 is fine.  Attached is
the change log since 2.71 to help you decide.

OTOH, it's not difficult to compile & install MIMEdefang, as long as you
have some familiarity with the general process of working with
Autoconf and Make files, etc..  The hard part will be the perl module
dependencies, as some of what you have may be too old to work with the
latest MD.  In that case, there's always CPAN.  But that adds extra hassle.

Personally, on my mail servers, I always build sendmail, mimedefang,
spamassassin, and clamav from source. (Even if the distro has
up-to-date packages.)

My advice would be to stick with what your distro gives you, unless
you encounter problems, or just want to have fun installing 2.74
yourself.  :)

	* MIMEDefang 2.74 RELEASED

2013-05-25 David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* Increase buffer size for md-mx-ctrl responses.

2013-01-22 David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* Close input file handle in append_to_html_part.  Bug found by
	Kees Theunissen.

2012-09-17 David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* Add action_add_entity function.

	* Simplify code in action_replace_with_warning.

2012-06-18 David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* Remove obsolete text from man page.

	* Avoid deprecated "defined(@array)" construct.

2012-03-27 David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* Implement new "load1" md-mx-ctrl command which gives statistics
	in more useful format than "load"

	* get_mx_ip_addresses: Treat MX records of '', '.', '0', '0.', '0
	.' and '0 ' as bogus.

	* watch-multiple-mimedefangs.tcl: Major improvements; see the
	new -n, -r, -s and -t command-line options.

2012-02-07 David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* Add rcpt_addr, rcpt_host and rcpt_mailer to default set of
	macros that we ask for.

	* Log Sendmail queue ID in more places.

	* Remove dead "connect_to_socket" routine in mimedefang.pl

	* Do not invokve smfi_setsymlist unless "-y" option to
	mimedefang is given.  smfi_setsymlist leaks memory in versions
	of Sendmail prior to 8.14.4.

2012-01-23 David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* MIMEDefang 2.73 RELEASED

2012-01-20 David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* Create /var/spool/MIMEDefang with mode 0750 by default.

2012-01-18 David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* Make the -G option cause files created by mimedefang to
	be group-readable.  Add the new MD_ALLOW_GROUP_ACCESS init script
	variable.

2011-12-21 David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* Make the multiplexor snoop in on communications and save the
	Sendmail queue-ID for logging purposes.  It logs the queue ID when
	logging a slave's STDERR.

2011-12-12 David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* Make configure.in check whether or not libmilter requires -lldap.

	* Fix Graphdefang to handle new md_syslog output style.

	* Always check return code from chdir() in mimedefang.pl.  In
	certain cases on large and heavily-loaded servers, if the chdir()
	failed MIMEDefang would end up working in the wrong directory with
	attendant chaos.

	* Add "-G" option to mimedefang and mimedefang-multiplexor.  This
	makes their sockets group-readable and group-writable.

	* Pass along the client port number, server IP address and server port
	number to all filter functions.  This feature was sponsored by Scayl.

2011-07-20  David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* MIMEDefang 2.72 RELEASED

2011-06-20  David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* MIMEDefang 2.72-BETA-2

	* The "make unstripped" target has disappeared.  Instead,
	use:  make INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG=''

	* The RPM_INSTALL_ROOT make variable has disappeared.  Instead,
	use the standard DESTDIR:  make install DESTDIR=/some/dir

	* In mimedefang.c, truncate overlong responses from the multiplexor.
	Also sanitize replies so "\r" doesn't get fed to smfi_setmlreply.

	* If a slave process replies with a very long reply, have the
	multiplexor consume (and discard) the excess input so the
	multiplexor-to-slave protocol does not become de-synchronized.

2011-06-16  David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* When mimedefang becomes a daemon, have it wait for a
	"go/no-go" message from the child before exiting.  This should
	eliminate race conditions whereby the MTA starts before the
	milter socket is present.

	* Revert change in 2.72-BETA-1 that passed client port number.
	It was a hack; we need a proper way to pass largish amounts of
	information to the filter and that will have to wait for a major
	reworking of MIMEDefang.

2010-11-01  David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* MIMEDefang 2.72-BETA-1

	* Avoid run-time errors from Unix::Syslog on some platforms.

	* Change md_syslog to log the Sendmail Queue-ID if it is
	available.

	* Pass SMTP client port number to filter_relay, filter_helo,
	filter_sender and filter_recipient.  Also make it available
	to filter_begin/filter/filter_end in $RelayPort global variable.

	* Remove references to ParanoidFiler.
