You could modify the startup script to wait until mimedefang.socket
appears and then just chmod it.  Something like this:

	rm -f /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.socket
	# Sstart MIMEDefang and the multiplexor, and then...
	for i in `seq 1 10` ; do
	    if test -e /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.socket ; thne
	         chmod 0755 /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.socket
		 break
	    fi
            sleep 1
        done
