Hm, the name was considered obsolete way back, if I recall correctly, 
because it grew way above the original intend: to defang suspicious MIME 
parts.

Maybe, with trademarks on the hand et al, it's time to move.

The MIMEDefang Milter can do much more:
+ Apply ACLs
+ Reroute messages
+ Add/delete recipients
+ Change senders
+ Manipulate messages
+ Log messages
+ Archive messages
+ Sign/encrypt/verify messages
+ ...

Several other milters focus on Virus, SPAM, Malware and the like only.

Does anybody know, if ClamAV (now owned by Cisco, IMHO) is an acronym,
well AV == Anti Virus, but the "Clam" part?
