David:

All good points, thanks.

The idea of creating my own SA object is one of those obvious things
overlooked as one digs through the weeds of the code.

Duh! <slapping head>

Thanks for the input.

Well, that's why we sell CanIt-PRO! :-)

I don't plan on making any changes to the spam_assassin functions.  If you
want this level of control, simply create your own Mail::SpamAssassin
object and manipulate it directly.

Not as far as I'm concerned.

Yup.  This can be done in the filter without any changes to
mimedefang.pl.  And while I'm happy to release MIMEDefang under the
GPL, these sorts of changes are uncomfortably close to eating into
CanIt and CanIt-PRO territory.  Unfortunately, we have to make a
living too. :-)

Regards,

David.
