[Mimedefang] sendmail access.db question

[Martin J. Dellwo]

I have implemented an access.db with FEATURE(`access') in sendmail, with 
lots of 'To:<someword>@domain.com  REJECT' lines to block unknown users 
(or currently unknown but former users).  Does this get checked before 
or after MIMEDefang?  How would I distinguish this in the mail syslogs 
(I have pretty high logging level turned on).  If the user is unknown on 
the system and would therefore be rejected anyway, am I gaining anything 
by using the access.db?
