Here are directions on recompiling testing mimedefang for stable.
It was trivial to backport it.
I made a complete new chroot installation built mimedefang for stable on a
stable from the testing release, installed it, installed sendmail, and was
done. Sent some mail and it came out alright.
It works for me.
I did a complete install from scratch to finish.

After you install sendmail, mimedefang you then need to go read
/usr/share/mimedefang/Readme.debian and it will tell you the last 2 things
you need to do, which involve editing sendmail.mc.
You also need to run sendmailconfig.
You also need to install spamassassin, if you want to use that.
