[Mimedefang] little changes - big troubles

[hans mayer]

hi all 

yesterday i invested half a day to figure out my filter problem. 
i did instell sm 8.12.3 and md 2.6 on a system md never was installed. 
default filter config did work immediatly. 
then i changed as mailed befor and run into troubles. changing to 
multiplexor did not change the situation. 
now i did isolate, that "action_quarantine" as last action in 
"sub filter" could be the problem. here 2 examples: 

the first works well. of course is makes absolutly no sense to
make 2 accept's.
-----
sub filter {
    my($entity, $fname, $ext, $type) = @_;

    if (re_match_ext($entity, '^\.(abc|doc|xyz)$')) {
        return action_accept();
    }

    return action_accept();
}
-----
now i changed action_accept to action_quarantine
looks like this: 
-----
sub filter {
    my($entity, $fname, $ext, $type) = @_;

    if (re_match_ext($entity, '^\.(abc|doc|xyz)$')) {
        return action_accept();
    }

    return action_quarantine($entity, "An attachment named $fname was
removed - tst msg .\n");
}
-----
now i get my 4.7.1 try again later .. Hmmm :-(((
maybe somebody can test exactly my filter, if it 
is comprehensible. 

here my environment: 
perl, v5.6.1
IO-stringy 2.108
MIME::Base64 2.12
Mail 1.40 
Net 1.07 
MIME-tools 5.411 
Digest::SHA1 2.00 
mimedefang 2.6
sendmail 8.12.3 


best regards
hans
