http://www.postfix.org/MILTER_README.html

A key fact on that page:

* Postfix 2.3 does not support Milter requests to replace the message body.

If you have a working MIMEDefang configuration that you'd rather not
translate into some other sort of tool that works with 2.3.3, you can
use a 2.4.x or 2.5.x version of postfix and get body replacement,
which is necessary to do the modifications you describe. I have
dropped in Postfix 2.4.x in place of Sendmail on systems using
MIMEDefang without needing to change the MIMEDefang setup at all.

>Can anyone suggest a similar utility that will work with postfix 2.3.3?

You *should* be able to reproduce what you are doing in MIMEDefang
with amavisd-new and altermime or Anomy Sanitizer, but that may
depend on exactly what you are doing with MIMEDefang.

The positive side to switching to that approach is that it is a more
common toolset with Postfix than is MIMEDefang, so there's a richer
potential for "community support" when you need it. With MIMEDefang
and a modern version of Postfix you may have less work up front, but
you are largely on your own if you were to run into issues.
