<p>Excellent points. <br>
</p>
<p>For better or worse, we are committed to maintaining MD and
security issues would have very rapid responses.</p>
<p>And we do have a bug bounty sponsorship program too which has
been very helpful fixing security issues for other projects.<br>
</p>
<p>Regards,<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">
The SA glue code is pretty tiny. The anti-virus glue code in
mimedefang.pl is substantially larger, making up more than 50% of all
the lines in mimedefang.pl. Since people are unlikely to be running
more than one virus scanner, it means about 50% of mimedefang.pl is
just dead weight.
More code isn't only more RAM; it's also more attack surface. Security
best practices indicate not installing code you don't need.

As per my posting at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.mimedefang.org/pipermail/mimedefang_lists.mimedefang.org/2020-November/029601.html">https://lists.mimedefang.org/pipermail/mimedefang_lists.mimedefang.org/2020-November/029601.html</a>
I don't think MIMEDefang is fixable with little tweaks.

Dianne.
