Actually, you should- one on the line that declares the existence of one
or more milters, and one on the line that actually defines the options
for the MIMEDefang milter from sendmail's point of view.

Exactly as below, in fact;  although the details on the second line will
vary depending on your setup.

As for why MD still doesn't seem to be responding...

-> Restart MIMEDefang, and check the logs to see if it started cleanly
-> Restart sendmail, and see if it complains about permissions somewhere
in the logs, or returns oddball error codes when you telnet to port 25
on localhost and enter SMTP command sequences.

ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my
