Sorry to sound like a clueless noob (or a one-trick-pony, but you have 
to admit MailScanner is one hell of a trick!), but all I read is:

0) mimedefang blah blah
1) mimedefang yadda yadda
2) mimedefang adds fluffity-fluff bleebloop
3) if they are authenticated, mimedefang bah weep gra-nah weep ninni bong.

Perhaps I should look into mimedefang so I can add it to my bag of 
tricks (or at least, so I can follow a simple thread!) :)
