In a typical MD install, everything passing through sendmail also passes through mimedefang and it's filter.

I don't know why you want to get procmail into the mix. mimedefang-filter can be told to do just about anything with the mail it handles. mimedefang-filter is called by MIMEDefang, and MIMEDefang is called by sendmail. Is there anything special you need procmail for that you don't want to do with MIMEDefang?

That's odd.

Have you specifically told mimedefang-filter not to do anything with those mails, or does sendmail not even call mimedefang on them (I have no idea how you'd tell it not to, but with thye sendmail config just about anything seems posssible to do on purpose or by mistake)?
