So, to reply to my own post, I've been toying around and determined that Embedded Perl appears to be the culprit.
That kind of makes sense. If the multiplexor is very slow to initialize, mimedefang waits a bit before entering the main loop. The code looks like this:
[...snip...]
So if the multiplexor is whacked, it can take up to 50*3 seconds, or a minute and a half for the mimedefang.sock to be created.
This is probably excessive. :-) I'm thinking 15 iterations around a loop with a sleep(1) in it is probably better.

David,
the multiplexor appears to be alive however. (as far as I can tell) ... the socket is created and it's in the process list. do you have any idea what might cause it to be so slow (somewhat suddenly) ?
I also noticed that mimedefang.pl -features hangs as well. I've narrowed this down to *something* in my filter. Although I haven't figured out what yet, and nothing in the filter has changed during the period of time where everything was working as expected and it stopped working.
I'm stumped.
