I'm stumped. Maybe David or someone else on the list has an idea. You could
throw some debug lines inside /etc/rc.d/init.d/mimedefang
or /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions to see what is going on. killproc() uses a
function called pidofproc(), perhaps it is not able to get the pid of
mimedefang-multiplexor for some reason...?
This is a bit of voodoo, but often when I am in situations like yours I find it
helpful to completely remove everything related to the software I'm having
problems with and start with a fresh installation. If you haven't already
tried that you might want to consider it.
