MIMEDefang needs a new name.
Why?
Hm, the name was considered obsolete way back, if I recall correctly,
because it grew way above the original intend: to defang suspicious MIME
parts.
Maybe, with trademarks on the hand et al, it's time to move.

It obeserves/checks/looks at the Mime of mail messages and then
deletes/cans/removes a dangerous part
The MIMEDefang Milter can do much more:
+ Apply ACLs
+ Reroute messages
+ Add/delete recipients
+ Change senders
+ Manipulate messages
+ Log messages
+ Archive messages
+ Sign/encrypt/verify messages
+ ...
Several other milters focus on Virus, SPAM, Malware and the like only.

PerlMilter would clarify exactly what it does, but might be too generic.
Yeah. I like it.

In reference to ClamAV as pointed out by Bill.
Does anybody know, if ClamAV (now owned by Cisco, IMHO) is an acronym,
well AV == Anti Virus, but the "Clam" part?
SquidMilter - ...
Squid, any of more than 300 species of 10-armed cephalopods classified
within the order Teuthoidea [Britannica] ... the squid has its tentacles
everywhere.
Might be a reference to the Squid web proxy/cache as well.
