I suspect this is your problem, because MIMEDefang is being run on the
e-mail as it comes in and after procmail forwards it.

This was exactly what I experienced because all my e-mail gets
forwarded, and I was scanning twice because the latest sendmails use
SMTP to do their forwarding. See the archives about how to avoid
scanning mail that originates on the server.
It's something like the following in filter_sender (filter_relay is
similar):
my ($sender, $ip, $hostname, $helo) = @_;
if ($ip eq "127.0.0.1")
{
return ('ACCEPT_AND_NO_MORE_FILTERING', "OK");
}
