Following up on my own posting here... I solved the mystery. A bug in MIMDEdefang is to blame, see here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg14658.html
By adding the macros to the mimedefang invocation via the -a command line switch I was able to solve the problem. So anyone of you upgrading to a newer version of MIMEdefang, be careful. :-) Cheers, Ferdinand On 17.08.2012, at 11:29, Ferdinand Goldmann wrote: > Hello! > > I've been using a mail setup consisting of sendmail, milter-ahead, > milter-greylist > and MIMEDefang running on FreeBSD for years. > > Recently I installed a new server running FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p3.
