Hi,

I have a recurring problem with mimedefang.sock getting down. I get the error:

Sep 14 16:43:43 ns3 sendmail[22431]: n8EKhhOt022431: Milter  
(mimedefang): local socket name /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock  
unsafe

I added some sleep time in the startup file:

/usr/local/sbin/clamd &
sleep 10
/etc/rc.d/mimedefang-ctrl start
sleep 10
echo "starting dkim-filter"
/usr/sbin/dkim-filter -x /etc/mail/dkim-filter/dkim-filter.conf &
sleep 3
echo "starting sendmail"
/usr/pierre/bin/sendmail.start daemon-start


I checked the permissions for all the folders:

/var/spool/MIMEDefang

-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root   221275 2009-09-14 17:23 TRACE.OUT
srwxrwxrwx 1 root   root        0 2009-09-14 10:36 clamd.sock=

/var

drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 2009-07-19 22:44 spool/

Embedded Perl is not activated.

got the following versions:

clamav-0.95.2
dkim-milter-2.8.3
mimedefang-2.67
sendmail-8.14.2

I have tried many different things, but to no avail...

TRACE.OUT is attached, so that you can have a more precise idea. I saw  
a lot of No such file or directory, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks,

Pierre Forget
