Ok I think I have made some good headway.  This is where I am at ->
Freebsd 4.6
Installed MIMEDefang properly with the ports
Figured out the account I was launched Mimedefang did not work, so fixed
that
figured out the /usr/local/etc/rc.d
edited and chmod'ed the mimedefang.sh in that directory
Now Mimedefang launches on boot.  Here are my processes

in my maillog it states
Jul 12 04:18:52 SpamFreeBSD mimedefang-multiplexor: started;
minSlaves=2, maxSlaves=10, maxRequests=100, maxIdleTime=300, busy

Jul 12 04:18:55 SpamFreeBSD mimedefang-multiplexor: Starting slave 1
(pid 166) (2 running): Bringing slaves up to minSlaves

However the stats file is still empty!  I don't think Mime is scanning
the incoming mails ;(

Here is a sample maillog entry

The sendmail is configured to forward all mail to our internal exchange
box.  Is this what is screwing everything up?
