The command returns data when there is data. However, when it does not have data, it just prints No. I was trying to run a test to see if I could have the script produce a customer message, like "There is no data, try another date." I am sorry I put echo "yes" in the script, for this is deceiving. I really wanted it to print out a message such as "there is no data." I can't get it to print any customer message at this point, it just prints "No."

I think I have found the problem. Looks like part of the script was truncated when I was testing and I need to add the lines and retest it.

mimedefang.pl
MIMEDEFANG.PL(8) System Manager's Manual MIMEDEFANG.PL(8)
NAME
mimedefang.pl - Perl script to scan MIME messages.
SYNOPSIS
mimedefang.pl [-f filter] dir
DESCRIPTION
mimedefang.pl is a Perl script designed to work with mimedefang(8). It takes a single argument which is a directory which should contain
files laid out as described in mimedefang(8).
OPTIONS
-f filter
Specifies the name of the file containing the filter. If this option is omitted, the default filter /etc/mimedefang-filter is used.
OPERATION
mimedefang.pl evaluates the file /etc/mimedefang-filter as a Perl fragment. This file should define the filter procedure. For each part
of a MIME message, mimedefang.pl calls filter and disposes of the part as instructed by the filter. The various modes of disposition are
described in mimedefang-filter(5).
TESTING FILTERS
You are strongly recommended to test your filter before installing it in /etc/mimedefang-filter. To test the filter, save it in a file
(e.g. test-filter) and run this command:
mimedefang.pl -f test-filter -test
This tests the filter for syntactic correctness. If it passes, you can install it as a production filter. (Note that the test tests only
for correct Perl syntax; it doesn't make sure your filter does something sensible.)
MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS
There are a few other ways to invoke mimedefang.pl:
mimedefang.pl -structure < mime_message
parses a message on stdin and prints lots of debugging information.
mimedefang.pl -prettyprint < mime_message
parses a message on stdin and prints it in a "nice" format (depending on your definition of "nice".)
mimedefang.pl -features
prints a list of detected optional Perl modules. The output looks something like this:
SpamAssassin: yes
mimedefang.pl -validate
calls the function filter_validate, if it is defined in your filter. filter_validate should return an integer; this becomes the exit code.
If filter_validate does not exist, an error message is printed and mimedefang.pl exits with an exit code of 1.
