Unless typing 'yum update' to pick up fixes that have
been needed less often than in the Linux kernel for the last
few years is a problem for you...

No one edits sendmail.cf directly anymore and milter has been
stable for about as long as postfix has existed at all.
Postfix still doesn't have a way to let you hook user
defined scanners running under a different uid to run
in realtime during the smtp conversation, does it?  MimeDefang
lets you do anything you can describe in perl and return the response
through the milter interface for various operations
before the mail has been acknowledged as accepted.
