[Mimedefang] Pulling my hair out

[Mitch at 0Bits.COM]

Hi,

Look in the archives for my thread

	MIMEDefang timeouts (again)

David's idea of using the -k flag to mimedefang so it keeps
the failed directory and message around helped me enormously.
You could then run mimedefang.pl on the message manually to
see why it is timing out and use the unix tools (strace/truss)
to check out where the timeouts were.

In my case it ended up being a downreved/mismatched Unix:Syslog
perl module, and i was not getting syslog messages except from
the mimedefang binary itself (like you probably).

Mitch

Hello,

I am running MIMEDefang 2.33 on FreeBSD 4.8 under sendmail 8.12.9.

For the life of me, I cannot seem to get this to work.

I have succesfully gotten this combination running on another server
with no problem. I have written and implemented my own milter
applications in the past.

I am getting the dreaded 'Please try again later'. I am just at a loss
to get any more information.

Running mimedefang.pl or /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter.pl gives no errors
- they are syntactically correct. I have set the confMILTER_LOG_LEVEL to
1 and 9 in my .mc file. At 9, the only thing I get in my system log is:

Jul 20 17:43:57 calgw sendmail[2433]: h6KNht9A002433: Milter: data,
reject=451 4.7.1 Please try again later

At log level 1, I don't get anything.

I have tried running sendmail using /usr/sbin/sendmail -bD -d64.5, and I
do get some milter related stuff when I run it:
milter_set_option(LogLevel = 9)
milter_set_option(macros.connect = j, _, {daemon_name}, {if_name},
{if_addr})
milter_set_option(macros.helo = {tls_version}, {cipher}, {cipher_bits},
{cert_subject}, {cert_issuer})
milter_set_option(macros.envfrom = i, {auth_type}, {auth_authen},
{auth_ssf}, {auth_author}, {mail_mailer}, {mail_host}, {mail_addr})
milter_set_option(macros.envrcpt = {rcpt_mailer}, {rcpt_host},
{rcpt_addr})
Xmimedefang: S=60
Xmimedefang: R=60
Xmimedefang: E=300

But nothing when I try to send an email through.

Here is my sendmail.mc:

Mimedefang is running, the socket is created.

I'm fairly frustrated, and not sure where to turn to figure out whats
wrong. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!
