OK, but mimedefang and mimedefang-multiplexor try to create sockets in
/var/run.  Will that work if they are running as smmsp/smmsp?  My permissions
on /var/run are:

drwxr-xr-x    5 root     root        20480 Apr  4 07:19 /var/run/

But if the socket creation fails, the multiplexor should just exit... maybe
that's not it.  Still, the fact that you're running md/md-mux suid is the
only difference from my standard setup.

Regards,

David.
