I am just building up a new Debian server with the usual (MD/SA/Milter-ahead/Clam) and I have found a strange problem.
I have a reload script that ends with the following :
/etc/init.d/mimedefang force-reload
/etc/init.d/sendmail reload
If I run this then I get ..
Reloading Mail Transport Agent (MTA): sendmailWARNING: Xmimedefang: local socket name /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock missing
But if I REM out the last and run the script then run the sendmail reload line from the prompt it is fine.
A number of articles mention this problem and usually the answer is to check to see if sendmail and MD are running in which case its nothing to worry about.
But I like my scripts to tell me the truth :-)
And I have also noticed that mimedefang has suddenly become Xmimedefang ... did I miss something there?
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers,
