Make sure your filter has a close() for every open().  Check for
any case that would 'return' and skip a close() statement.  Since
each perl process handles up to 500 messages (default), it could
accumulate a lot of needless open filehandles.

"ls -R /var/spool/MIMEDefang/" would give you an idea of how many
work files are really there.  They're being created and destroyed
pretty fast so it won't be exact.
