[Mimedefang] Global variables in filter_relay, was: Milter and aliases

[Aaron Paetznick]

This brings up another question.  Should all the global variables be 
available inside the filter_relay block?  I think maybe my logging 
mechanism is logging incorrect information.  It's almost like I'm 
chasing phantom rejects with good info.  To clarify, when I log a 
filter_relay event, I rely on $Subject, $Sender, @Recipients, etc.  It 
seems that what might be happening is relay discards are being logged 
with the global values from the previous valid email.  Is this possible?
