I can't see how.  A bit further down:

    if (data->cmdFD < 0) {
        dbuf_free(&dbuf);
        cleanup(ctx);
        DEBUG_EXIT("envfrom", "SMFIS_TEMPFAIL");
        return SMFIS_TEMPFAIL;
    }
    if (write_dbuf(&dbuf, data->cmdFD, data, "COMMANDS") < 0) {
        dbuf_free(&dbuf);
        cleanup(ctx);
        DEBUG_EXIT("envfrom", "SMFIS_TEMPFAIL");
        return SMFIS_TEMPFAIL;
    }
    dbuf_free(&dbuf);

and there are no branches or returns between the code you posted
and the code I posted above.  However, I just checked one of our
busy servers and the mimedefang process is 8GB which seems large.
I'll investigate to see if I can find a memory leak.
