Superior in what way(s)? I see it can do some of the same
things as mimedefang but can't see anything better - but since
there isn't a concise feature list, maybe I missed it. The
things I like about mimedefang are that sendmail's own
access and other checks run along with whatever you add
in mimedefang before you accept at the smtp level so you
can reject without having to construct a bounce message,
and that mimedefang runs as a user without access to
the rest of the mail system, and it runs as a daemon
so you aren't starting new processes for every message.
