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. > 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. As per my posting at https://lists.mimedefang.org/pipermail/mimedefang_lists.mimedefang.org/2020-November/029601.html I don't think MIMEDefang is fixable with little tweaks.
