??? Eh? Could you explain that? MIMEDefang doesn't "prevent" anything.
It's up to you to code your policy.

David,

Thanks for this reply.

MIMEDefang is a great tool and I've been using it for years. My spam
problem has gotten so bad lately though that MD/SA was no longer doing
enough. I decided to add the SARE rules to SA but could not get them to
work. After doing a lot of research I determined the reason I couldn't get
the SARE rules working was that MD runs SpamAssassin. The SARE rules need
to be run by Spamc and Spamd. MD Does not run Spamc/Spamd. I found some
howtos to get MD to support spamc/spamd, but could not get them working.
As I recall, one of the howtos referred to a comment by you, that support
for spamc/spamd was not working in MD or was week at best. Has that
changed? Is it possible to get MD to call Spamc/Spamd and thereby support
all SpamAssassin features? If so, please point me to some documentation or
a howto.

Thanks again,
Rick
