Like I said, don't run MD as user 'defang'.

Stop MD: 

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mimedefang.sh stop

Change the owner of these directories:

chown -R mailnull /var/spool/MD-Quarantine
chown -R mailnull /var/spool/MIMEDefang

Edit /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mimedefang.sh and change MX_USER to mailnull.

Start MD:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mimedefang.sh start

Yup.

No, make it the owner, as above.

Your /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/etc/mimedefang directories are fine.

I'd like to know what's in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mimedefang.sh...
