I originally tried to use MIMEdefang but never could get it to work. I was intrigued with the author's view that he doesn't supply binaries...if you don't know how to compile code then you shouldn't be trying to use his app. I can see his point but it still seems to be rather stupid to me. In any case, MIMEdefang just wouldn't compile on my system. I continued to get string errors no matter what I did. MIMEdefang's author and I exchanged printouts but he couldn't figger out what was happening either. I then checked out mailscanner. It doesn't require any config changes to the stock sendmail install and comes as a rpm package (as well as tar). I installed it in minutes and it has worked ever since. mailscanner uses spamassassin if you have it installed. It also supports several virus engines (ie. McAfee, Sophos, F-Prot, etc). Julian Field who wrote the code couldn't be more responsive to requests for features. I highly recommend mailscanner.
