[Mimedefang] mimedefang.sock error

[Mail Administrator]

Hi All,

I came back from lunch today to hear people saying they can't send mail. 
Looking in the /var/log/maillog, I see two Bad Things(tm)

#1:
Jan 26 13:42:12 meow sendmail[8791]: i0QLgCFl008791: Milter 
(mimedefang): local socket name /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock unsafe

In the archives, I see that the generic response is "make sure /var & 
/var/spool are owned by root and not group/world writable. Already been 
there and checked that.

#2: (which I find no reference to in the Archives):
Milter (mimedefang): write(Q) returned -1, expected 5: Broken pipe

Mimedefang.sock does not exist, I assume because mimedefang isn't really 
running. I further assume that is the reason for #2.

MimeDefang is 2.39. Sendmail is 8.12.11. SA is 2.63. I'm using Sophos 
for antivirus.

I'm now going to recompile sendmail.cf from an .mc file with no milter 
line, just so I can get mail flowing again. This system has been up for 
a week, working flawlessly. It just replaced a system that was in use 
for over one year, and in the end was MD 2.37/SM 8.12.10/SA 2.60/Sophos.

Any help most certainly be appreciated.
