Examples?
Running MimeDefang is a good example. MimeDefang runs as a milter
and other MTAs than sandmail support the milter interface (and they also
have non-milter alternatives to MimeDefang)
As far as I know, none of the other MTA's are completely compatible with
sendmail in the way (or whether) they expose details that the milter
needs to know, like whether a message was accepted with smtp
authentication and/or ssl encryption, so I don't think any will
currently work with MimeDefang, although it might be possible with some
work. And the non-milter alternatives generally suffer from one or
more of running under the mailer uid, starting a new process for each
scan, making the whole process wait for slow operations, or only having
the results after the smtp conversation is completed.
