G'day from down under :)

Have just spent many hours installing & configuring MIMEDefang 2.28, Spamassassin & 
Sendmail 8.12.7

Everything is working fine except that I am not receiving the admin emails when 
messages are quarantined.

Here are some details:

1. Rejected Spam from mail log

3. Administrator email section in mimedefang-filter
<snip>
#***********************************************************************
# Set administrator's e-mail address here.  The administrator receives
# quarantine messages and is listed as the contact for site-wide
# MIMEDefang policy.  A good example would be 'defang-admin at mydomain.com'
#***********************************************************************
$AdminAddress = 'postmaster at ozmatrix.com';
$AdminName = "Scott Harris";

#***********************************************************************
# Set the e-mail address from which MIMEDefang quarantine warnings and
# user notifications appear to come.  A good example would be
# 'mimedefang at mydomain.com'.  Make sure to have an alias for this
# address if you want replies to it to work.
#***********************************************************************
$DaemonAddress = 'mimedefang at ozmatrix.com';

4. Aliases created 
[root at morpheous:] # cat /etc/mail/aliases

<snip>
postmaster:     root
root:           scott
mimedefang:     scott
<snip>

Still no emails. It's probably something really obvious :)

Can someone please point me in the right direction of where to look next?

Thanks very much!
