Yes I have a rule in there to block emails with a from address of <>

I am using an old version but I tried in 1.4 and 2.2 does this still
apply?

Obvisously the multplexor doesn't apply to 1.4

Do you have a rule in your filter to block such messages?

Try instead:  action_quarantine_entire_message()

Run with the multiplexor, and use the "-l" option to
mimedefang-multiplexor.
This logs all Perl errors to the mail log file.
