   I think that if sendmaill is invoked via a command line and the message
read from STDIN, MIMEDefang will not see it at all.  It will use submit.cf
rather than sendmail.cf and submit.cf does not have a milter call.  MD
won't see it until it connects locally via a socket to deliver and by then
you have lost the fact that it was originally submitted by a program.

   You can either scan the headers and look for something like:

Received: (from user at localhost)
        by foo.domain.com (8.13.6/8.13.6/Submit) id l1KJwRrX018411

(note the "/Submit" in the version number)

or just assume that anything generated locally is OK and put this in
filter_relay:

   if ($ip eq "127.0.0.1") {
     return ('ACCEPT_AND_NO_MORE_FILTERING', "ok")
   }


   HTH...
