I had the same problem, turns out that I needed a small pause betweent the
MineDefang startup and the sendmail startup.  After I put in a 3 second
pause, this error went away.

Okay,
I just went through the install for MimeDefang.  I am running it on a Redhat
7.3 system with Sendmail 8.12.5.  When I start up Sendmail, I get the
following error in my maillog log file:

Aug  9 14:47:30 apple sm-mta[14686]: g79LlUMk014686: Milter (mimedefang): to
error state


And, then I look in my messages log file and find this:

Aug  9 14:38:44 apple sendmail: WARNING: Xmimedefang: local socket name
/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock missing


And, here is a copy of my startup script:

                        # Start Multiplexor
                        echo -n "Starting mimedefang-multiplexor: "
                        daemon $MULTIPLEX -x $MAX_SLAVES \
                                -m $MIN_SLAVES \
                                -b $BUSY_TIMEOUT \
                                -i $IDLE_TIMEOUT \
                                $DO_LOGGING $STATS_LOG $FLUSH_STATS \
                                -s /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mdefang-mx.sock -p
/var
/spool/MIMEdefang-mx.pid -U mimedefang
                        RETVAL=$?
                        echo ""
                        [ $RETVAL -ne 0 ] && exit 1

                        echo -n "Starting mimedefang: "
                        daemon $MIMEDEFANG -m
/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mdefang-mx.s
ock \
                                -p /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock
$SENDER
_CHECK $RELAY_CHECK \
                                -p /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.pid -U
mimed
efang
                        RETVAL=$?
                        echo ""
                        [ $RETVAL -ne 0 ] && exit 1


Can somebody be so kind as to tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Jeff
