Thanks Don, I think it did, sort of... I just went through my mimedefang.conf file and enabled everything to do with logging for the multiplexor, including stats etc. I then created the /var/log/mimedefang directory for the stats, changed owner to defang, and put mimedefang back into sendmail so I could test it. It has since delivered 3 messages with no problems. So, it's fixed, but I have no idea why as I did change any filter settings or anything, just log settings. Bizarre. I wonder if maybe the last time I ran sendmailconfig it stuffed part of the .cf file up or something?
