... I agree with you.

... I read it. It seems very strange, because in FreeBSD I start it by
/etc/rc.d/mimedefang start|stop etc. In this file I can set the
options for example Logging (means the parameter -l) or embedded
(means the parameter -E). So far all is clear but if I check ps
-ax|grep mimedefang I get

74688  ??  I      0:00,00 /usr/local/bin/mimedefang -P
/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.pid -R -1 -m
/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang-multiplexor.sock -z
/var/spool/MIMEDefang -U mailnull -p /var/spool/MIME ...

So whatever I set in /etc/rc.d/mimedefang the parameters never change.
Also not if I set it manually in this file (yes at right position).
If I'm assume I set the config options right in the file mimedefang
runs also not. I get some stuff like:

... I did it many times.

Any ideas?
