This is on debian?
You should have a 3-5 second delay from sendmail starting, pausing,
then starting mimedefang.
If mimedefang restarts it should have a 3 second delay on the restart.
These are the defaults on debian.
I annoy debian maintainer on a regular basis...

Try putting in a delay between sendmail/mimedefang start.
Do 10 seconds just to be sure.
Manually start with the delay.
What version of sendmail are you using again?
