[Mimedefang] SA or not to SA was Spamassassin Removal?

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Two really Great points.

You are right.  I wouldn't normally break dependencies either and was 
flippant in explaining that option without proper caveats.  I would 
recommend leaving SA installed.

For the stubs, great point. What would you estimate the RAM usage is?  
I'm assuming pretty tiny.

We're about to put out MIMEDefang 2.85 and can build one without SA as a 
dependency if you think it's more than a few Kilobytes.

Best,

KAM
