Hi,

I have just installed Mimedefang, following the directions in the How To.
When restarting Sendmail, I got an error when it tried to start mimedefang
about "Unknown User @DEFANGUSER@". I searched the archives of this list and
changed @DEFANGUSER@  to defang (the user I created) and got past that. Now
I get this error though:

Starting mimedefang-multiplexor:
/usr/local/bin/mimedefang-multiplexor: Unable to create listening socket on
path @SPOOLDIR@/mimedefang-multiplexor.sock

A seach of this mailing list turned up this:

"Changing this line to 'defang' got me past this point, then it choked on
'@SPOOLDIR@', but fixing this one up did the trick."

My question is, what should I change @SPOOLDIR@ to? I have two directories
for mimedefang in /var/spool,
MD-Quarantine and MIMEDefang. Which one should go in here for @SPOOLDIR@?

Thanks,

Lisa Casey
