Yes. I wouldn't be surprised if it could also lose mail under some
circumstances with sendmail. The milter interface is there for a reason ;-)

IMO, mimedefang would be a better choice of the two to include, as it does
work with postfix and sendmail, and uses their defined interfaces for
hooking in. Now that exim's included I suppose software should be chosen
which works with it as well -- don't know about it and mimedefang
