Hi - I'm a long time user of mimedefang on Redhat, my first time trying 
to it get it work on Ubuntu 22.  Apt installed mimedfang 2.84-4build3.

I added this to sendmail.mc:

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang',`S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, 
F=T, T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')

The mimedefang process start.   But when I try to send an email, my 
email client hangs and then eventually times out.

It does create a mdefang-xxxxx directory in /var/spool/MIMEDefang/ for 
that email with all the appropriate files.

But nothing in the log files.  Until it times out, at which point the 
messages below occur.

I have no idea how to debug this any further.   Any suggestions? Thanks.
