I think it took a bit of fine-tuning to get the "right" Perl module;
but once I got that figured out I was able to create the hash file the
same way as any of the other .db files for sendmail - create the
plaintext version by hand or utility as convenient, then "makemap hash
dbfile < dbfile".

I'm not certain on most of the specifics of this any more, since that
system was decommissioned something like 5 years ago...  all I have left
is a tarball of /etc.

For the domain mappings the hash values were still pretty much
hand-maintained;  I never got around to adding utilities to modify them
before services were migrated off the legacy system to the core mail
system (which had proper per-account controls for filtering).

Check "man mimedefang-filter" to be certain for your install, but I
can't see why they'd go away.  Re-reading that section of the man page
says they're important if running with embedded Perl.
