You should have a 3-5 second delay from sendmail starting, pausing,
then starting mimedefang.
If mimedefang restarts it should have a 3 second delay on the restart.
These are the defaults on debian.
I annoy debian maintainer on a regular basis...

Try putting in a delay between sendmail/mimedefang start.
Do 10 seconds just to be sure.
Manually start with the delay.
What version of sendmail are you using again?

Hi Lucas,

This is on SuSE 9.1 here is the software versions again
SuSE 9.1
sendmail-8.12.10-158
spamassassin-2.63-32
MIMEDefang-2.44
ClamAV-0.75.1

Also, I added some changes to my startup portion in the /etc/init.d/sendmail file... Here is were i'm at now... (Basically the same but confermed a few more items...)

Here is what my log shows with your sendmail.mc statement as this : (ALL ONE LINE) Correct?
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang', `S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, F=T, T=C:5m;S:5m;R:5m;E:5m')dnl


So I added this to my /etc/init.d/sendmail file on the start and stop so it looks like this :

. /etc/rc.status
rc_reset
case "$1" in
start)
* /etc/init.d/mimedefang start <--- is this right
sleep 15 <---- New statement added to delay startup*
echo -n "Initializing SMTP port (sendmail)"
startproc -p $srvpid /usr/sbin/sendmail $SENDMAIL_ARGS
rc_status
startproc -f -p $msppid /usr/sbin/sendmail $SENDMAIL_CLIENT_ARGS
rc_status -v
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down SMTP port"
killproc -p $msppid -TERM /usr/sbin/sendmail
rc_status
killproc -p $srvpid -TERM /usr/sbin/sendmail
rc_status -v
* /etc/init.d/mimedefang stop <--- correct to stop?
sleep 10 <---- sleep for some time...*
;;
try-restart)
$0 stop && $0 start
rc_status
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
rc_status
;;


The NOTE statements I put there are not in the file of course...

Restart Sendmail and this is now my log... Make sense? I do feel closer though... Probley permissions right?

Permisson's on my files are like this :
It creates the sock files as defang:users but it is owned by defang:defang

Hope that helps make sense what it's doing I would really like to use it! {smile}
