I'm having problems with mimedefang on a FreeBSD 4.6.2 box. It ran fine
for months, but sudently it stopped working. When I try to brint it up
I get the following error in maillog:

Feb 19 16:16:10 cactus mimedefang-multiplexor: started; minSlaves=2, maxSlaves=1

I googled for "Couldn't start signal thread" but haven't found anything
useful.

Any pointers, help would be greatly apreciated.


Thanks in advance
