I'm running mimedefang 2.39 on a Sun Solaris 2.6.  Too often I'm getting the following error message:

Dec 30 11:42:11 sun2.ntv.com.tr sm-mta[18362]: hBU9gB7F018362: Milter (mimedefang): error connecting to filter: Connection refused by /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock
Dec 30 11:42:11 sun2.ntv.com.tr sm-mta[18362]: hBU9gB7F018362: Milter (mimedefang): to error state
Dec 30 11:42:11 sun2.ntv.com.tr sm-mta[18362]: hBU9gB7F018362: Milter: initialization failed, temp failing commands

The error message repeats itself for all the messages in the queue until I restart sendmail and mimedefang and everything looks normal afterwards..

What could be the problem?

Thanks..
