I am experiencing this problem as well. I was wondering if anyone has
found a solution or work-around.

Also, occasionally email attachments are missing although there is no
indication in the mimedefang log that an attachment was removed. Is
there any way that MD could cause an attachment to disappear without a
trace?

MD: 2.51
clamav and uvscan
filter_bad_filename() and action_rebuild() are enabled


Thanks,
