Whew, I'm glad you said that.  I steered away from MIMEDefang just because I
couldn't resolve the hoards of perl dependancy problems on my RH 7.3 box and
I didn't want to upgrade at the moment.

Would there be a benefit a "true" bogomilter to drop SMTP connections on
spam.  Seems like sending "undeliverable" message back to the spammer don't
really work (assuming a good reply-to address) because they ignore it.  But
if we drop the connection, then that would be a "hard" error and spammer
software may take note of that and start removing emails addresses.

I willing to do some funding for this if people thinks it's a good idea.
More thoughts?
