[Mimedefang] order of processes

[Dana Holland]

In viewing the logs, I wasn't sure if the items in my access.db were 
actually being rejected.  It could be that I'm just not reading the logs 
correctly.

Thanks for the answer.  I'm going to play around with it a little more 
to see if I can get a better feel for how it's all working together.
