[Mimedefang] filter_bad_filename

[Carol Man]

Hello Jim,

   first at all I should say many thanks for your
support. You are really helping me... =)
   Well, I will say what I did:

1.) I looked in sendmail.cf file and noted that has a
part where it was only written like this:

   # Input mail fitlers
   # O InputMailFilters

 so I changed to that:   # Input mail filters
                         O InputMailFilters=mimedefang

 But when I did the command /etc/init.d/sendmail
start, it left a message:

  Starting sendmail: 451 4.0.0 InputFilter mimedefang
not defined: No such file or directory [FAILED]

 Before I changed the sendmail.cf file everything was
[OK].
