I doubt it -- if the multiplexor says "busy timeout", it's a problem
with the message.  Try using the "-k" flag on mimedefang to keep
failed messages around.  (Oh, wait -- I don't think that flag is
supported on as old a version as 2.9... maybe upgrade.)  Then you can
examine the message for suspicious things like huge messages,
deeply-nested MIME parts, etc.  You can also run mimedefang.pl by hand
in the mdefang-xxx/ directory like this:

	cd /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mdefang-xxx
	rm -rf Work/
	mimedefang.pl .

and see what happens.
