No, that's not possible. MIMEDefang doesn't do the actual delivery of the email, that is the job of sendmail. Your best bet is probably to copy (most of) the access rules that are present in the "other" mailer. MIMEDefang can easily block exe files, for example. (That said, I'm trying to do the same, by moving the actual delivery to MIMEDefang. "Impossible" is not in my dictionary. This will be a huge speedup improvement, especially since it's combined with md_check_against_ smtp_server anyway, but it will be quite hairy to get the details right). -- Jan-Pieter Cornet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> !!
