   Hello,
I am trying to get mimedefang 2.37 working on a Solaris 9 (Sparc) system. I
am using Perl 5.8.1. In the mail log files the following error appears:


Oct  8 14:14:33 u0 mimedefang-multiplexor: [ID 980602 mail.info] Slave 1
stderr: unix dgram connect: Socket operation on non-socket at
/opt/mail/bin/mimedefang.pl line 395
Oct  8 14:14:33 u0 mimedefang-multiplexor: [ID 980602 mail.info] Slave 1
stderr: no connection to syslog available at /opt/mail/bin/mimedefang.pl
line 395
Oct  8 14:14:33 u0 mimedefang-multiplexor: [ID 389462 mail.error] Slave 1
died prematurely -- check your filter rules
Oct  8 14:14:33 u0 mimedefang-multiplexor: [ID 260045 mail.error] Reap: Idle
slave 1 (pid 22239) exited normally with status 255 (SLAVE DIED
UNEXPECTEDLY)
...

Note the error on line 395. This is where mimedefang is trying to write to
the log. I do have Unix::Syslog installed (do not know why it is not being
used) and Sys::Syslog.

Any ideas how to fix this and/or what is going on?

Sincerely,

   - Henrik
