[Mimedefang] Re: mimedefang error mimedefang.sock unsafe??

[James Ebright]

As far as directories go.. the "x" bit simply means you can get a directory
listing if you have privledges. For files it turns on execute allowing the
file to be run as a program. I do not believe that should affect the operation
of MimeDefang in any way as MD does not need the x bit on the directory as it
already knows what the files are called and it only needs read write on the
sockets. 

For some reason you are not getting the mimedefang.sock created. I would
double check your config files and make sure you dont have MD trying to create
it elsewhere. You might also want to double check your /var/spool file system
and make sure its not an underlying issue like bad inode, out of space, out of
inodes, etc.
