Search through your mimedefang-filter for the text "An attachment 
named".  You'll probably find it near a call to filter_bad_filename. 
(That's where I found it in my filters;  all of which have quite a few 
defaults commented out.)

Stick in some unique md_syslog statements before whichever statement 
includes that text, (the default filter includes several IIRC), so you 
can identify which piece of code is causing your problem.
