-I turned all logging on that I could find and I found this in
/var/log/maillog:

Oct 22 11:52:32 mail2 mimedefang-multiplexor: Slave 0 stderr: Use of
uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /etc/mail/mimedefang-filt
er line 149. Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at

/etc/mail/mimedefang-filter line 149 contains the following:
    146     if($bounce eq "no") {
    147         open(IN, "<./HEADERS");
    148         while() {
    149             if(/beleskari/i) {
    150                 $bounce = "yes";
    151                 action_quarantine_entire_message();
    152                 action_bounce("Porn not welcome here");
    153                 last;
    154             }
    155         }
    156         close(IN);
    157     }
