I mentioned MIMEDefang because I knew some people are using it with good effect and it works with sendmail. I know other people on the list are using it but I really couldn't tell you anything about configuring it. I don't actually use sendmail myself for all the standard reasons. I set up Postfix + Amavis + SA just last night in a similar configuration to Sendmail + MIMEDefang + SA and I'm still working on the configs (beware the HOWTOs for Postfix + Amavis + SA because some critical configuration lines are truncated.)
