[Mimedefang] Unknown Error Messages

[Link, Pete]

I am experiencing the following error messages and am not sure how to solve
them:

1.  I tried the following:
		Cd /usr/local/bin
		chown defang:defang mimedefang-multiplexor
		chown defang:defang mimedefang
That does not seem to solve my problem w/ the WARNING Message Below.  Not
sure how to solve this.

2.  It appears that the mimedefang-multiplexor process is dying after it is
exectured for the first time.  Not sure how to solve this.

3.  I check the scripts for correctness:
[root at mail2 mail]# cd /usr/local/bin
[root at mail2 bin]# ls -l

[root at mail2 bin]# ./mimedefang-multiplexor -l
WARNING: You are running mimedefang-multiplexor as root.
Future versions of MIMEDefang may refuse to run as root.

4.  I checked the perl scripts for correctness:
Cd /etc/mail/
[root at mail2 mail]# mimedefang.pl -test
Filter /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter seems syntactically correct.
