I think that it's related to this problem and the related bugfix:
http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/pipermail/mimedefang/2004-March/021318.html
Mimedefang makes certain that it closes the filehandle used to talk to
syslog, and I think that it occasionally closes it even when the
filehandle isn't open, which prompts this warning.
I first noticed messages similar to this after adding the bugfix listed
above, so I'm pretty sure they're related. The warnings should be
harmless, so I've just ignored them.
