You may have a syntax or other error in /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter.

try 'mimedefang.pl -test' to have it verify your default filterrules. 

>From 'man mimedefang.pl':

 You  are  strongly  recommended to test your filter before
installing it in /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter.  To test the
filter,  save it in a file (e.g. test-filter) and run this
command:

  mimedefang.pl -f test-filter -test

 This tests the filter for syntactic  correctness.   If  it
passes,  you can install it as a production filter.  (Note
that the test tests  only  for  correct  Perl  syntax;  it
doesn't make sure your filter does something sensible.)

>What could be a problem and how I can fix it?

See above. Possible filter rule problem.

Hope this helps


Paul
