[Mimedefang] Simple mimedefang & sendmail question.

I've been using mimedefang and sendmail for several years, with a 
very simple mimedefang-filter script.  I recently decided to try and 
add greylisting to the script, but it refused to work.  I traced this 
down to the fact that  filter_recipient was not being called.   Any 
idea what would be causing this?

One of the flavors of greylist scripts apparently recognized this 
problem, because they included greylisting code for filter_begin (in 
addition to filter_recipient), with the comments:

     # Check greylist here instead of in filter_recipient in order to handle
     # stupid mailers created by stupid programmers who can't read an RFC...

Thanks. -   Mark

p.s.  Using mimedefang 2.45 & sendmail 8.13.1
