Regarding mimedefang, and its ability to work as a milter, and the general setup of a milter under postfix, well... I have been there and done that (in due time, I even described in this list, the config that we use to run opendkim as a milter, communicating by a unix socket with a chrooted postfix). But the question here was entirely different: "... to use MimeDefang to sanitize the emails that arrive at ONE of our 3 mailing lists" The problem was not to apply mimedefang to all incoming mail (like a milter base config usually does). The problem is how to do it in order to to process a SINGLE target email address (the address of a given mailing list), without consuming unnecessary machine resources, i.e., without "miltering" all the email that arrives at the postfix server. That was why I also attached the main.cf/master.cf filter+transport config that we use to pipe the emails addressed to mailing lists into the mailing list management software. Thank you, Mark
