Well, I changed the ownership of the BD7 files to defang and yes, that is
better. Still strange that it would work fine when executed from the
console as user defang, but not within MIMEDefang. What I have now is the
following:

So I get BitDefender actually identifying it, but still returning a 0 code
to mimedefang. So much for the BitDefender Authors having changed the
package. David, maybe you should remove support for BitDefneder until they
really pass exit codes.

Looks like I'll have to revert to Phillip's scripts for now.

Thanks for the help.
