Well, like I said, I haven't had any problems as yet. The portability of
milter might be an issue for some, in that the MTA has to support it. Then
there's the issue of versions. I guess i could rebuild the latest sendmail,
but it's not something I relish.

FWIW, MailScanner advertises Postfix, Exim, ZMailer, and Sendmail
compatibility.
But if there were a good installation wrapper for MIMEdefang and my older
sendmail on my SPARC box then I wouldn't have a problem switching over, if
the features are worth it. I have found MailScanner to be quite flexible in
its configuration, thus far. Time will tell.
