That I could tell - I passed enough emails (~40) under test conditions
to suggest that it was every mail.  Not enough for certainty though.

My test script was:

#!/bin/bash
cd /var/spool/MIMEDefang
mail tester < ~/test-file.txt
while true
	do
	ls -alR
	done

Just hit ^C to stop :)

Low tech, but gave me what I needed.

I never had a tempfail - what I had was ClamAV silently failing.  Enable
verbose logging and logging of clean files and you'll possibly see.

Well, that rules out it being an OS problem or a filesystem problem (I'm
pretty sure you won't be running UFS2 :>).

I'm running the same perl version and the same version of sendmail (and
probably the same version of MIME::Tools).  I'm guessing it's most
likely a problem with MIME::Tools, or possibly perl.

PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list.  Email sent directly to me may
be ignored utterly.
