Hi,

Lets go over this one more time, then if this looks right I guess I just 
need to go back over my whole setup starting at step 1.

As for directory permissions/ownership I have this in /var/spool:

# cd /var/spool
# ls -l
total 36
drwxr-xr-x  2 defang  defang      512 May  3 17:56 MD-Quarantine
drwxr-x---  2 defang  smmsp    512 May 13 12:02 MIMEDefang
drwxr-xr-x  2 root    wheel       512 Apr 25 08:44 bulls
drwxrwx---  2 smmsp   smmsp       512 May 13 12:02 clientmqueue
drwxrwxr-x  2 uucp    dialer      512 May 11 20:58 lock
drwxr-xr-x  2 root    daemon      512 Jun 11  2002 lpd
drwxr-xr-x  2 root    daemon    15872 May 13 12:13 mqueue
drwx------  2 root    daemon      512 Jun 11  2002 opielocks
drwxr-xr-x  3 root    daemon      512 Apr 19 07:40 output
drwxrwxr-x  7 uucp    uucp        512 Apr 19 07:40 uucp
drwxrwxrwx  2 uucp    uucp        512 Jun 11  2002 uucppublic

(According to my passwd file, Sendmail ownership is thus):

smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission 
User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
mailnull:*:26:26::0:0:Sendmail Default User:/var/spool/mqueue:/sbin/nologin

I have also tried mailnull as the group for the MIMEDefang directory.

In /usr/local/bin I have this for  the files relating to mimedefang:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     8728 May 11 12:06 md-mx-ctrl
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    58028 May 11 12:06 mimedefang
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   904404 May 11 12:06 mimedefang-multiplexor
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   213987 May 11 12:06 mimedefang.pl

In /usr/local/etc I have a directory mimedefang as so:

drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel    512 May 11 12:06 mimedefang

Within this directory I have this:

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  14636 May  3 18:13 mimedefang-filter
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  14497 May  3 18:11 mimedefang-filter-original
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  14497 May 11 12:06 mimedefang-filter.example
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   2873 May  3 21:27 sa-mimedefang.cf
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   2872 May 11 12:06 sa-mimedefang.cf.example

This is the directory mimedefang is looking for it's filters in.

If any of this is wrong, let me know.

Thanks,

Lisa
