Did you take the call to spamd out of your filter?  I'd have to see your
filter and a copy of the failing message to understand what's happening.

Try using the "-k" option to mimdefang so it keeps spool directories for
failed messages.  Then go to that directory and type:

	rm -rf Work; mimedefang.pl .

to see if anything obvious is wrong.
