Try stopping MIMEDefang and running:

chgrp -R defang /var/spool/MIMEDefang
chmod 750 /var/spool/MIMEDefang
chmod g+s /var/spool/MIMEDefang

That will make /var/spool/MIMEDefang have group "defang" and set
the SGID bit on the directory, meaning any directories or files
created under /var/spool/MIMEDefang will also have group "defang"
(and recursively down the whole tree.)

Rgeards,
