I am trying to run the latest version of mimedefang and I started
getting this error :

Mar 21 14:36:31 ns1 sendmail[17185]: j2LKaVL0017185: Milter

I have rebuilt it twice ... and get the same error. 

Seems like a rights issue with the /var/spool/MIMEDefang/ location but
here are the rights : 

[root at ns1 spool]# ls -all MIMEDefang/
total 36
drwx------   2 defang defang 4096 Mar 21 18:21 .
drwxr-xr-x  17 root   root   4096 Mar 21 12:14 ..
-rw-r-----   1 defang defang    6 Mar 21 18:21
mimedefang-multiplexor.pid
srw-------   1 defang defang    0 Mar 21 18:21
mimedefang-multiplexor.sock
-rw-r-----   1 defang defang    6 Mar 21 18:21 mimedefang.pid

Mimedefang sock will not create itself it tries and then gets this error
I can see it in the dir and then it goes away with the above error :
mimedefang sock unsafe. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance.
