} Yup

     You may need some kind of delay here.  It's possible that
MIMEDefang isn't ready when sendmail starts.  I think milters are
checked for each message.  Does mail flow normally after system startup
is completed?

} Starting sendmail: 451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 1804: Xmimedefang: local socket
} name /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock unsafe: Permission denied
}                                                            [FAILED]
} [root at b090lx44 etc]# ls -ld /var/spool/MIMEDefang/
} drwxr-xr-x 2 defang defang 140 2008-09-10 12:01 /var/spool/MIMEDefang/

     BTW, this is wrong.  It should be 700.  Do you really want
everybody that can login to the system to be able to read in-transit
mail?
