[Mimedefang] Sendmail Skipping Filter

Hi all,
As these things go, I sometimes treat sendmail as if it might be doing
something under the covers that I am not entirely aware of, but in
this case it turns out that I simply made an error. I had a call to
an external program whose (extremely rare) failure was not resulting
in a proper temp failure return value from mimedefang simply because I
wasn't calling action_tempfail. This resulted in the mail attempting
delivery because it 1) hadn't yet hit the discard and 2) was not temp
failing. It was slipping through the cracks in other words. I had sorted
it out minutes after sending the original email.
Thanks for your time,
Nate
