This is because the global variables ($Sender, etc.) are not valid in
filter_sender, filter_relay or filter_recipient.  The next release of
MIMEDefang, currently in CVS, explicitly clears out all of these
variables so they are empty once their validity has expired.

(Clearly, inside filter_sender, it is not possible to know the Message-ID,
subject or recipients.  That info hasn't yet been transmitted.)

You should not use md_log outside filter, filter_multipart, filter_begin
or filter_end.
