    I've never used MIMEDefang, but you might want to try Net::ValidMX. There's an example in the example directory that uses a mimedefang filter.

    Update: Addded example.

      thanks...I think the requirement is MIMEDEFANG per se.

    you hit the nail on the head! I want my hand held and many soothing words. Actually, my company wants MIMEDEFANG hooked into SENDMAIL for purposes of having a central mail hub from which postings are validated and split into pieces which are then directed to the specific recipients of the post. Soothing words are always appropriate.
      your requirements are still not very clear. are you trying to modify FROM/TO/BCC based on some business rules?..or splitting up the various parts of all emails into some central indexing buckets?
      i wouldn't even attempt the former..and for the latter there are easier and more reliable solutions like always storing a copy of every email sent thru sendmail, onto an indexing server.
      but for all i know my guesses could be completely off the mark.
      the hardest line to type correctly is: stty erase ^H
