[Mimedefang] unsafe socket error message

[David F. Skoll]

Hi,

One additional thing to try:

	grep Xmimedefang /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

If it looks something like this:

Xmimedefang, S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, F=T, ...

That's good.  However, it it looks like this:

Xmimedefang, S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock , F=T, ...

it's bad.  Notice the space between ".sock" and the comma?  Sendmail
takes that as part of the socket name.

If this is what's causing your difficulty, it's an easy fix -- just
remove the space and restart Sendmail.  Then you can ponder the sadism
of the Sendmail authors, or the masochism of the Sendmail users...

Regards,

David.
