Hi to everybody,

I'm testing MIMEDefang to configure a filter to archiving sent emails for
backup. These are the software packages version´s used:

-Linux 2.4.2-2 (Red Hat release 7.1)
-Perl 5.6.0
-Digest-SHA1-2.00
-HTML-Parser-3.27
-HTML-Tagset-3.03
-IO-stringy-1.212
-libnet-1.13
-MIME-tools-5.411a-RP-Patched-02
-Unix-Syslog-0.100
-MailTools-1.1401
-MIME-Base64-2.11
-Time-HiRes-1.42
-Mail-Audit-2.1
-Sendmail 8.12.7 (just for testing, I'm not crazy! :D) compiled to support
plain AUTH

Notes:
-MIMEDefang is working using defang user, /var/spool/MIMEDefang and
/var/log/mimedefang are owned by it.
-I'm using default mimedefang-filter script. I don't get complains testing
it (mimedefang.pl -test).
-I already fixed some errors I saw on /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mdefang-date
hostxx-x/STDER (I had to specify the perl path on mimedefang-filter).
-Queue time for sendmail: 5 minutes.
-sendmail.mc line about milter: INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang',
`S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, T=S:5m;R:5m'). It keeps a
good timeout and I don't use "F=T" flag because I'm not interested right now
on antivirus, I don't really care if filter fails, is more important
avability.

On mimedefang-multiplexor mode (with -l for debugging) I get these errors:

date host sendmail[6193]: h2CHtG7p006193: from=<mymachine at mydomain.com>,

On mimedefang stand alone mode I get these other errors,

I really need to work with MIMEDefang and belive me, I tried unsuscesfully
to determite what's going wrong, I've been searching with Google any of
those strings with failures and I can't progress from here.

Thanks for your attention

Diego Munoz
