[Mimedefang] Sendmail, MIMEDefang, ClamAV, and SpamAssassin

[Eric Murray]

  Hi Everyone,

I sure hope you can help me out I'm lost on what to try next here.
I've followed the guide linked from mimedefang.org and i'm so close (I 
think) but having a problem.
*
1st Senario (One more Senario Below)*
My Sendmail is working good, SpamAssassin looks good, and ClamAV is 
Scanning / Updating etc and can be ran manually fine.
But (Always a but hey) when I restart Sendmail I get the following in my 
/var/log/mail

Aug 17 20:07:34 emurray mimedefang[5926]: Multiplexor alive - entering

- Now I believe everything is looking good (I hope) my sendmail restarts 
and it creates the /var/spool/mimedefang.sock correctly but I wonder 
about the permissions on it... I've added the group and user defang as 
it suggested and tried permissions of 700 and 755 but still the same 
results. The directory has rights for defang:defang and currently set 
with 755 but the files are created as defang:users on boot.

- If I remove the call to the MIMEDefang filter from my sendmail.mc file 
all mail send's fine so it's balling up with that.

*************************************************************
*2nd Senario
Here is one other senario I have... If I change my sendmail.mc filter 
line from this :
*INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang', 
`S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, F=T, T=S:1m;R:1m'

*To This :*
MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang', `S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, 
F=T, T=S:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')dnl define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', 
`mimedefang')dnl

I can create a new sendmail.cf from the m4 command and restart sendmail 
etc (Reboot the computer because I still have the Windows Concept but 
still doesn't work) and It appears as if MIMEDefang is loaded etc but It 
doesn't scan anything. Maybe the 2nd command is better and I fubared it 
somewhere else?
Does this restart of sendmail look correct or is it wrong also?

Here is my log with the new command in my sendmail.mc :
(All Mail "DOES" send though, no reference to scanning, Blocking, or 
Spam Filtering though.)

Lastly, is there supposed to be a MIMEDefang-2.44:mi_stop=1 at the end 
when I do a rcsendmail restart?

Information :
SuSE 9.1
sendmail-8.12.10-158
spamassassin-2.63-32
MIMEDefang-2.44
ClamAV-0.75.1

Thanks for any help you can offer in advance,
