[Mimedefang] Authentication warnings and "cannot write" errors

[Paul Whittney]

I think this is where the sendmail trusted users comes in.
May also depend on the logging options of your sendmail setup 

I've not tested this yet (but I'm getting there)...

In the .mc file for your site add:
FEATURE(`use_ct_file')dnl              # trusted-users
(It may be in as default...)

Should result in the .cf containing:
Ft/etc/mail/trusted-users

Also, there should be lines:
Troot
Tdaemon

Then add the user that mimedefang is running as to /etc/mail/trusted-users
restart sendmail (or killall -HUP sendmail)

Anyone see any issues with this? Is this better than giving mimedefang any
additional privileges?
