Only if you code it that way... we have many pass throughs and local virtual users in ours and also have a fairly elaborate filter_recipient and do not have this issue... of course ours doesn't determine validity of a user at all, we rely on the MTA for that (of course if you use MS exchange you are S.O.L. there unless you have the recent upgrade). Of course you could simply do the checks for the exchange boxes and then pass the others and let sendmail determine their validity (assuming the mimedefang box and your linux sendmail box is the same box, if not look at this: http://www.mimedefang.org/kwiki/index.cgi?RelayCheckAddresses). Alternatively you could check them yourself, but that route requires a bit more work on your part to make sure you are parsing it the same way sendmail does (we parse our access.db hash here on some boxes that delay_checks, we are using Sendmail::AccessDB for that purpose).
