I have this in use to perform some internal cache purges.  This can be
worked around so I do not see a problem removing this.

I use this feature, but as some of the responses are (possibly) too
large for mimedefang to handle I am also running a seperate socketmap
server just for that one call (the VirtHost one).

I can move the socketmap code currently in use to that seperate
socketmap process (although I would have to refactor that one to handle
concurrent calls).

Anything is good (and maybe release it under a new major version, as
already mentioned).
