This is a typical section of the log file that starts with the

I'll just add to this that it is rather trivial to check which part was 
failing.

If mail is tempfailed by MIMEDefang, than sendmail will log only single 
line that it is tempfailing message:

    Milter: data, reject=retrun code")

If mail is tempfailed by sendmail because MIMEDefang took too long, 
you'll see these three lines in sendmail logs:

    Milter (mimedefang): timeout before data read
    Milter (mimedefang): to error state
    data, reject=451 4.7.1 Please try again later

If MIMEDefang took too long, and sendmail is accepting the mail (since 
F=T was ommited), you'll see first two lines, and than a line saying 
that mail was accepted.
