[Mimedefang] Problem please help.

After a Hard Drive crash, I had to reinstall our mail server.

I am running RH7.2, sendmail 8.12.6, mimedefang 2.24, spamassasin 2.43

After a successful Build and install, everything seams to start up
running, however;  when you connect to the server you get the following:

220 mailgate.xxxxxxx.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.6/8.12.6; Wed, 30 Oct 2002
15:35:51
 -0500

250 mailgate.xxxxxxx.com Hello dmccartin.liftech.com [192.168.10.182],

rcpt to:root at domain.com
553 5.3.0 Connect: user.domain.com
quit
221 2.0.0 mailgate.xxxxxxx.com closing connection

changed for security purposes.

In the maillog I get the following error:

Oct 30 16:10:56 mailgate mimedefang-multiplexor: Starting slave 0 (pid
6319) (1 running): Bringing slaves up to minSlaves
Oct 30 16:10:57 mailgate mimedefang-multiplexor: Slave 0 stderr: Can't
locate /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter at /usr/local/bin/mimedefang.pl line
3116. 
Oct 30 16:10:57 mailgate mimedefang-multiplexor: Reap: Idle slave 0 (pid
6319) exited normally with status 13 (SLAVE DIED UNEXPECTEDLY)


There does exist a /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter so I don't know why it
can't find it.

I'm not that great with Linux so any help would be appreciated.
