Hopefully by now you figured it out, but if not...

If you use a "normal" syslogd, you could send everything sent to syslog's
mail facility at the debug priority to a file (not just MIMEDefang, but
anything else that uses that) with something like this:

mail.=debug		/var/log/mail.debug

but I'd use syslog-ng instead.  With it you can tell it to log
everything from a certain program to a file and that sort of thing.
I use a filter like this with it to pull out md_log() logs for graphdefang
to parse through that instead of the whole /var/log/(messages|maillog).

filter mdlog { program(mimedefang.pl) and match("MDLOG"); };
destination mdlog { file("/var/log/mdlog"); };
log { source(local); filter(mdlog); destination(mdlog); };
