[Mimedefang] Slaves died prematurely

[Eduardo Otubo]

ok, just for test reasons I put a default mimedefang-filter file into my 
/etc/mail dir. its supposed that the default file has no errors, isn't it?
Well i got the same error.

:(

what wrong with my mimedefang?....

besides, i did a new installation again with new mimedefang config files 
and got the same errors again
