[Mimedefang] Sendmail/MIMEdefang issue?

[Ben Kamen]

I'm having a weird problem with attachments that are large causing a tempfail 
with AIX and Bellmail - I'm emailing here since I have a feeling this started 
when I started using mimedefang...

If this proves not to be the problem I'll ask the sendmail guys...

Here's my environment:

AIX 4.3.2
Sendmail 8.12.x (I think I'm patched to the next to latest)
Mimedefang w/SA only (no Virus or anything)

In sendmail.cf:

Mlocal,         P=/bin/bellmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qmn9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, 
R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
                 T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
                 A=mail -F $g $u

and in mimedefang-filter's filter_end, I have the line:

		if (-s "./INPUTMSG" < (100*1024) ) {

  to skip big files...


Ok - now in sendmail's log, I have the error:

Jul 25 12:43:13 bkamen-0 sendmail[12398]: i6N7kY1p012680: 
to=<recip at thisdomain.com>, ctladdr=<sender at externaldomain.com> (504/500), 
delay=2+09:56:38, xdelay=00:00:20, mailer=local, pri=30411793, dsn=4.0.0, 
stat=Deferred: local mailer (/bin/bellmail) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL

The email being transferred is ~20MB and is sitting /var/spool/mqueue.

One of my thoughts are:
   Why is bellmail specified and then the args use mail -F $g $u (which is a 
completely different program)?


I have a feeling this will be best on the sendmail list - but you all are so 
smart - I figure someone might have an idea...

  Thanks,
