IIRC, my problem is that the MIMEDefang socket is NOT being created on
the first start attempt when MIMEDefang was previously not running
(either at system startup or after stopping it). Doing a restart causes
it to work properly.

# ls -la *.sock

$ ls -lad / /var /var/spool /var/spool/MIMEDefang/
drwxr-xr-x  21 root   root   4096 2007-05-15 09:45 /
