[Mimedefang] MIMEdefang mimedefang.sock unsafe

[Network Guy]

I have rh9 with sendmail 8.12.10 like you.  I am NOT a programmer, so I 
guessed.  Remove defang as the group owner, put it back to root.  Guess 
that the programmer(s) are checking for ownership, not ownership AND 
permissions?

worked for me.
