Yep, I see that. Thank you Victor and Wietse for reminding me too. Although
upgrading to 2.4/2.5 is a possibility, Administration will be easier if I
stick to the standard CentOS 5 packages which is unfortunately 2.3.3.

Nope, I am not tied to MIMEDefang at all.

I kinda gathered from the lack of resources that MIMEDefang isn't a good match
with postfix. I will take a look at the tools you recommend.

Thanks for the suggestions.
