[Mimedefang] Re: slaves dying unexpectedly

[Mike Van Pelt]

DOH!!!

Never mind...

(For the morbidly curious, the system I built mimedefang on
has a symlink to /usr/local/bin/perl in /bin/perl.  The system
I was having trouble with ... didn't.  ln -s ... problem
miraculously solved.)

I can't believe how long I beat my head against the wall on
this stupid problem.

Is there some place the multiplexor should have been logging
the fact that it couldn't find a perl interpreter?  There
weren't any informative messages anywhere that I could find.
