No, I meant using echo to help debug.. moot point, anyway.  It looks like
the problem is not daemon itself, but initlog(8), which daemon uses to
launch mimedefang.  As far as I can tell, because initlog is forking
mimedefang directly, rather than going through a shell, there's no way to
pass a null argument to -x.  The usual -x "" syntax depends on bash to strip
the quotes and pass a null argument.

Does mimedefang expect to compile on non-gcc compilers?  If not, you could
use the double-colon option in getopts to make -x optional, rather than
expecting a null argument to it...
