When you see the  X-Scanned-By header (and the contents points toward 
MIMEDefang), MIMEDefang seems to work ;-)

So, did you put md_syslog()'s into the particular functions?
Did you added a new header _unconditionally_, e.g. in sub filter_begin()?

Just to guess, did you modified /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter at all?

What is working after restart?
