Well, that was also my gut feeling, that was why I posted here to try
to find some (solid) evidence.
So, assuming MD SPOOLDIR='/var/spool/postfix/mimedefang' and
SOCKET='/var/spool/postfix/mimedefang/mimedefang.sock', would the
following do the job?
postconf -e 'virtual_alias_maps = /etc/postfix/virtual-alias-maps
# /etc/postfix/virtual-alias-maps
mailing_lis...@example.com mailing_list_1@localhost.mlmmj
...
postconf -e 'transport_maps = /etc/postfix/virtual-transport'
# /etc/postfix/virtual-transport
mailing_list_1@localhost.mlmmj filteredmlmmj:mailing_list_1
...
# /etc/postfix/master.cf
# transport for the mlmmj mailing lists
mlmmj unix - n n - - pipe
flags=ORhu user=mlmmj argv=/usr/bin/mlmmj-receive -F
-L /var/spool/mlmmj/$nexthop
# filtered transport for the mlmmj mailing list manager
filteredmlmmj unix - - - - - mlmmj
-o smtpd_milters = unix:mimedefang/mimedefang.sock
Please note, in this last statement, 'unix', 'mlmmj' and '-o
smtpd_milters' nad the 5 dashes.

Not at all. The stated problem is an old problem. I have researched
extensively a lot of discussions about this subject both in MD list and
in the postfix list (and a lot of useless 'recipes' too). People tend
to see this issue as some sort of magically solved hit or miss issue.
And the people that develop MD seems to be more in the business of
selling "canned" solutions (pun intended), than into producing good
and clear documentation.

No problem with the needed Perl functions.

MD is certainly resources hungry. But I do not know any other app
that meets the specs:
convert html->text,
remove unsafe attachments (offenders with known ext's),
remove+webserve file attachments larger than 500KB
Right now we are piping email into "altermime --input=- --removeall",
but altermime is orphaned/abandonware and it does not do that file
attachment remove+webserve job.
Thank you,
Mark.
