Hi,

The return value of filter and filter_multipart is ignored.
I sometimes write:

  return action_accept();

as shorthand for:

   action_accept();
   return;

> Issue 2:  bounce or discard, which is it?

Yeah, that makes no sense. :)

>         md_graphdefang_log('message/partial');
>         action_bounce("MIME type message/partial not accepted here");
>         return action_discard();

Replace return action_discard(); with return;

I will fix the filter.
