The code below from mimedefang-filter sets the values for $hits, $req,

line
So in the mc file I put
define(`confSUPERSAFE', `PostMilter')dnl
However when I create the cf file, this gets translated to SuperSafe=True
What do I need to modify in that line about to get the cf to be
SuperSafe=PostMilter ?
