Dear All,

Thanks to all of you who replied to my mail. I got the
solution of my problem

The reason for that error was that in sendmail.mc
while using changes pertaining to mimedefang I used
the wrong quotation mark ''.... for line 
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER('mimedefang',-----) <<< here the
braces used were of the same type and that's why the
reulting sendmail.cf file was not calling the socket
and reulting in those error.

With best regards,
Mani
