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.

I personally think only properly licensed folks should be permitted to put a system (but particularly a server) on the Internet. Too late now, and look what a mess we have. Perhaps, just perhaps, after folks actually start dying because things connected through/to the Internet don't work as they should because of incompetence and a lack of understanding, something will happen (but I doubt it).
