Are you running in multiplexer mode and do you use the -s option to mimedefang?
To see if somehow your 'if' statement fails just try:

     sub filter_sender {
             my ($sender, $ip, $hostname, $helo) = @_;

             return (CONTINUE,"OK");
     }

And check if all mail is blocked or not.
