[Mimedefang] Filter Timed out.

[alan premselaar]

You may want to try running the filter from the command line to see if there
are any errors that aren't showing up in the log file.

# perl -w /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter

if this returns errors from the prompt, that'll cause the the multiplexor to
kill the slave processes and timeout (from my experience)

if that's not the root of the problem,i'll leave it to someone else on the
list to give you more suggestions.
