Did you actually *restart* the MIMEDefang processes?  The MX_RELAY_CHECK
variable is actually only read at system boot time or when the entire
MIMEDefang system
is restarted.

'md-mx-ctrl reload' just reloads the filter, it doesn't restart
mimedefang-multiplexer (which
is what makes use of the MX_RELAY_CHECK setting).
