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.
