Simple, mimedefang is rejecting this email because you told it to.  For 
some reason spamassassin marks this email with a score over 6 which 
causes the bounce.

The easiest way to troubleshoot is to quarantine the message with the 
spamassassin report so you can see what rules the message is matching.

Put this before your action_bounce():

action_quarantine_entire_message($report);
