[Mimedefang] Timeouts and bogus replies

[amadill at hwy16.com]

I've compiled and installed MIMEDefang and it seems to work well except that it times out unless I set the timeout 
parameters in sendmail.cf to very long values.  Attached is a copy of the maillog.

Is it possible that the mimedefang.pl or mimedefang is waiting on the delivery of the mail before returning?


This works though...
*** from sendmail.cf
Xmimedefang, S=unix:/var/run/mimedefang.sock, F=T, T=S:300s;R:300s;E:5m

BTW - this is a great package, thanks.
