It's not a MIMEDefang issue.

I believe the "A=" argument list starts from argv[0].  So you want your A=
to read:

	A=bellmail -F $g $u

Alternatively, if you want to use "mail", then your P= should be:

	P=/usr/bin/mail

You need to figure out why /bin/bellmail is being tempfailing, and why
/bin/bellmail is specified in your sendmail.cf file.
