[Mimedefang] mimedefang-multiplexor: Unable to activate slave #

[Jon R. Kibler]

Hi,

Ran into a MD error we have never seen before and we are not sure what is going on here. MD was restarted about an hour before this occurred (sendmail change).  Question: What causes the error "Unable to activate slave"?

MD STATS file and SYSLOG extracts follow the signature paragraph.

Everything seemed to recover ok, but would sure like to know what caused the hiccup.

THANKS!

Jon
