Please try MIMEDefang 2.30-BETA-2 from
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/#download

Use the new "-M" option to mimedefang; it protects the directory-creation
loop with a mutex.

If this fixes the problem, then the root cause is a Solaris bug.  2.30-B2
also fixes a few potential descriptor leaks.

Regards,

David.
