Not really :-(

I have now setup a new server, configured out  postfix/dovecot as lda 
with sieve that worked ..fine

But whatever I tried now mimedefang don't work.


It seems to be not "called" for action by postfix, not with uxix or 
inet, because if mimedefang is stop i get no error.
Filter are default, but this should be not the trouble.

There must be something to put in the master.cf but i could find 
anything, anywhere. there is not realy to find docu for this,
only confusing parts of ...

I'm really frustrated in the meentime, because without mimedefang the 
complete work with postfix/dovecot config is wast time.
