Thanks.  If you are interested in the way MimeDefang multiplexes 
operations among a small pool a perl back ends, there is a description 
starting on page 31 of the pdf at: 
http://www.mimedefang.com/static/mimedefang-lisa04.pdf.

Using MimeDefang moves all of your complicated non-standard operations 
under the control of a small chunk of perl with a library of stock 
routines provided and it does it more efficiently than systems that 
can't multiplex fast and slow steps among different handlers.  The 
mailer driving it only has to handle standard operations and would be 
more or less irrelevant except that sendmail is currently the only one 
that works with it.
