} WTF is that doing with those permissions?  That's the source of your

     This "WTF" is kinda rude.

} problem - fix that (and fix whatever's setting those permissions).

     No, it isn't the problem.  Sendmail doesn't connect to that socket
thus neither knows about it nor cares about it.  As for fixing it,
there is nothing to fix.  Those are the normal permissions for it.  The
idea being that clamdscan users can use clamd without having to have
any special permissions.  Of course, having clamd.sock in
/var/spool/MIMEDefang kinda defeats that idea.

     If you're going to be rude, at least be correct!

} Oh, and please stop posting the same question multiple times - once is enough.

     I can agree with this.

To the original poster:

     You didn't show the permissions on /.  Also, what is the version
of MIMEDefang you are using, and what OS are you using?  Also, are you
getting these errors continuously or just briefly at startup time?
