This can happen when MIMEDefang isn't running (i.e. crashed). Use
"ps" to see if MIMEDefang is running and/or check your logs to see if
MIMEDefang has given any errors.
BTW, you don't what OS you are running on. I have found on
Solaris that you have to use Unix::Syslog. If you use Sys::Syslog, you
will get this problem.
