Wow.  That's bad.  The only way I can see "defunct" mimedefang.pl
processes lying around is if the multiplexor is blocked somehow, or if
it misses a SIGCHLD.  Either event should yield massive, almost immediate
problems -- you shouldn't be able to keep going under those circumstances.

I'm at a loss to diagnose this without a shell account on a NetBSD system.
