We're specifically _NOT_ accepting the message - the whole point of MIMEdefang is that it sits alongside Sendmail and is consulted at each step of the SMTP process, so where your Sendmail local ruleset would be called once the DATA part has been completed, MIMEdefang is handed the same contents and asked whether to allow it - this is indeed rejection at the MTA. The difference in CPU use and time is minimal if you are already using MIMEdefang, and in most cases, having Sendmail local rules applied on every message and then also calling MIMEdefang is more wasteful than just using MD up front. I'd also suggest that Perl code is much easier to write, follow and debug than Sendmail local rules.
