[Mimedefang] Problems starting Mimedefang

[Mark Penkower]

With the help of this list, I was able to get Mimedefang to work.

I then repeated the steps on a Different PC (with the same flavor of Linux) 
and can't get Mimedefang to work.


Here are the entries from the log file:

What is not working here?


Also, I was under the impression that if I call Mimedefang like this (from 
my /etc/mail/sendmail.cf)

Xmimedefang, S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, T=S:5m;R:5m

Then sendmail will not crash if mimedefang is not working.  That is not the 
case here, as Sendmail returns the 451 4.7.1 Please try again later when I 
try to send mail.

Please advise
