I suspect you've missed out the queue_only part of the configuration.
The defer router technique is a belt-and-braces approach for when you
really don't want local users to be able to bypass the filters. I'm
not sure what the right way to deal with the hints databases in this
situation is -- whether it's better to have a cron job that just deletes
the incoming daemon's hints every day, or whether to share the hints
with the outgoing daemon (would that confuse it? dunno).
You should have a careful check through the installation
guide and make sure you haven't missed anything out.
