} The server port is already "known" because it is tied to the "daemon_name"
} variable which is passed at the xxfi_connect() call.
} 
} In Sendmail, this comes from the DAEMON_OPTIONS() M4 configuration
} directive.  The field "name=3D" is what is passed, and as that is
} tied to a field "port=", and all ports must be uniquely 1-to-1 mapped
} to names, passing the name implies the unique value of port.
} 
} Pseudocode - NOT perl:
} 
} switch($daemon_name) {
}   case "MSA":  Port=587; break;
}   case "MTA":  Port=25;  break;
}   case "MTS":  Port=465; break;
} }
} 
} If you can't do something like that to obtain the value you want from
} the value you're given, ....

     No, you can't.  A name does not imply a port.  You could do it
based on knowledge of your sendmail.cf, but that wouldn't be very good
programming.  Anyways, the problem is that mimedefang creates a
subdirectory with a name based on the QueueID then creates files in
that subdirectory for communicating with the filter (including listing
macros and their values).  Since there is no QueueID at filter_relay()
time, it has no place to store information.
