[Mimedefang] local socket name/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock unsafe

[Mark Emerle]

I have seen this error before and this is coming from sendmail. One of the
follwing directories must be group writable, which sendmail does not like

/var
/var/spool
/var/spool/MIMEDefang

   Are you sure that's MIMEDefang generating that error?  It looks like a
sendmail error.  It probably wants for root to own /var and /var/spool and
not have any group write permission.  Your defang user needs to own only
/var/spool/MIMEDefang.

   HTH...
