[Mimedefang] PL HELP Whole mail service is down !!!

[manishankar pandey]

Dear all,

I am using MIMEDefang 2.41 and installed recently ..
Today we took the shutdown of the server and after
that mail service is not at all working ...

/var/log/syslog has follwoing messege :-

1)Milter(Mimedefang): error connecting to filter:
connection refused by
/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock

2)milter(mimedefang): to error state
Milter: initialization failed,temp failing connection

I tried to start manually also from 
/etc/init.d giving command 
#./mimedefang start 

but when running ps -ef to see the process running not
seeing anything related with MIMEDefang running...:-(

In /var/spool/MIMEDefang/

there is no file name mimedefang.sock is getting
created also.....

What could be the permission for a user  I mean
'defang' user on the system ...

What I am missing please let me know


Thanks in advance and desperately looking for your
help..

Mimedefang is configured on SOLARIS 9 here
