SOCKS with MIMEDefang? Nope, not gonna work.
I assume you're talking about accessing external POP and/or IMAP servers? I assume so because I can't think of *any* good reason to not force outgoing mail through your own SMTP servers -- it's just too easy, and should have next to no impact on your users other than a configuration change.
Depending on what you want to do, there are several client-side products that will do spam and/or virus checking, if you're not looking to get too fancy. Off the top of my head, though, I can't think of any anywhere near as thorough and flexible as what you'd get with MIMEDefang.
Rather what I expected, but hoping you weren't going to say! Yeah, I was only talking about incoming POP/IMAP. We do have client side checking in place, but it's a real pain making sure the users keep them up-to-date, and as you say they are not a patch on mimedefang.
My advice is to log your hours, time, and the emails and then let the company lawyers that you are worried that the company is setting itself up for a lawsuit for allowing harrassing and abusive email in. Send them some of the emails, the amount of time it is costing, and how effective uses are being not allowed to be implemented. At that point it is up to them to figure out if the company has deep enough pockets to handle the suits.
