[Mimedefang] mimedefang.sock not being created

[Trevor Dodds]

Hi,

I've been running MIMEdefang (2.45) on Solaris 10 for the past couple of
month, I stoped mimedefang along with sendmail and restarted (Started
MIMEDEfang with the following commands:

/usr/local/bin/mimedefang-multiplexor -U defang -p
/var/run/mimedefang-multiplexor.pid -m 10 -x 21 -b 300 -i 600 -q 30 -Q120 -r
500 -E -l
/usr/local/bin/mimedefang -U defang -r -P /var/run/mimedefang.pid -p
/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock -m
/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang-multiplexor.sock

The /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang-multiplexor.sock is created
srw-------   1 defang   other          0 Aug 31 12:19
mimedefang-multiplexor.sock

My folders are as follows:
drwx------   2 defang   root         512 May  5 10:51 MD-Quarantine
drwx------  61 defang   root        7680 Aug 31 12:19 MIMEDefang

In my sysog I receive this:
Aug 31 11:06:16 mx2 mimedefang-multiplexor[14868]: [ID 268819 mail.info]
started; minSlaves=10, maxSlaves=21, maxRequests=500, maxIdleTime=600,
busyTimeout=300, clientTimeout=10

Ususally after this slaves are brought up to the minSlaves amount, this
unfortuantly is not happening anymore, after checking /var/spool/MIMEDefang
there is no mimedefang.sock

I tried upgrading to MIMEDEfang 2.52, this created the mimdefang.sock and
launched the slaves, but as soon as email's started to flow MIMEDefang
started to temp fail.

Currently I'm bypassing MIMEDefang,  Can anyone shed some light on why the
mimedefang.sock just stoped working?

Thanks
Trevor
