That doesn't match what I am observing. With my very similar
setup I get log entries for all rejections. So whatever it is
that rejects unknown users in your setup, I'm pretty sure it
isn't that filter_recipient function.

What exactly do you mean by "reject unknown users without
logging", anyway? What happens when a server attempts to
deliver a mail message for an unknown user? What response
does the sending server get? What does your server log?
Nothing at all? That would be very odd. In my experience,
Sendmail always logs at least the connection attempt.
Please show an actual log excerpt.

filter_recipient is a filter function of its own. It should
not be stuffed inside one of the other filter functions.

One other thing I forgot: MIMEdefang must actually be told
that you want it to run a filter_recipient function, by
starting it with the -t option. If you don't give that option
it'll just ignore any filter_recipient function you might
have in your filter script. Bit me more than once, that one.

Well, of course where you place code makes all the difference.
In programming, where you place a piece of code determines
when it is run.

If you are unsure how all of this hangs together, perhaps it
would be best to post your mimedefang-filter script in its
entirety so knowledgeable people can have a look at it.
