} Well thank , thanks John - the problem was not it - it certaily had nothing
} to do with those permissions.
} Well i m configuring this on linux redhat9 , on an Intel based machine (
} i386) , with sendmail 8.13.4, mimedefang 2.52 and with clamav 0.85.1
} Being a NewBee i m sorry to post it again . Coz i really needed the solution
} and Mark Penkower gave me it.

} The actual problem was - due to this
} 
} my sendmail.mc had
}     INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang',
}     'S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, F=T, T=S:6m;R:6m;E:15m')

     If this is exactly you have in your sendmail.mc, then you have a
very common syntax error here.  Look at the character before the "S".
You are you using the wrong type of quotation mark, it should be "`".
In sendmail.mc you always have to remember to use "`" for an opening
quotation mark and "'" for a closing quotation mark.

} and when i was building the sendmail.cf file it was there like this
} sendmail.cf
}     Xmimedefang, S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock,
} 
} where as it should be some thing like this
} 
}     Xmimedefang, S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, F=T,
} T=S:6m;R:6m;E:15m
} 
} I do'nt know why it was missing these - but this was the problem - which is
} solved now - thankx again to MARK PENKOWER.
