[Mimedefang] RE: mimedefang.sock is "unsafe"...

[Ken Morley]

I've troubleshot this further and have additional information.

Permissions appear to be correct:
drwxr-xr-x   20 root     root         4096 Mar 30 12:33 /
drwxr-xr-x   19 root     root         4096 Mar 26 15:16 /var
drwxr-xr-x   15 root     root         4096 Mar 30 08:14 /var/spool
drwx------    2 defang   defang       4096 Mar 30 12:34

srwx------    1 defang   defang          0 Mar 30 12:34
/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock


MD is starting before sendmail:
  667 ?        00:00:00 mimedefang-mult
  676 ?        00:00:08 mimedefang.pl
  679 ?        00:00:00 mimedefang
  683 ?        00:00:08 mimedefang.pl
  692 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
  700 ?        00:00:00 sendmail


Running sendmail with the diagnostic flags shows that sendmail thinks the
directory is safe:

I'm hoping that someone has some ideas.

Thanks in advance!
