If you want to start "mimedefang" with the "-t" flag then you better
put "-t" in the command that starts "mimedefang" rather than in the
command that starts "mimedefang-multiplexor".

But normally you don't need to modify the /etc/rc.d/init.d/mimedefang
script. The startup script reads a configuration file and will start
the daemons depending on the contents of that configuration file.

File names and locations of startup scripts and config files might
vary among OS-es/distributions/versions. On a Debian Linux Squeeze
system the config file is located in /etc/default/mimedefang.

In that file I have:

# "yes" turns on the multiplexor recipient checking function
# MX_RECIPIENT_CHECK=no
MX_RECIPIENT_CHECK=yes
