I recomend that you start sendmail with /etc/init.d/sendmail and start mimedefang with
/etc/init.d/mimedefang
The /etc/init.d/mimedefang always starts before sendmail, so that your sendmail will
always found a running sendmail when the system boot.
If you modified /etc/init.d/sendmail, then be sure to disable the /etc/init.d/mimedefang
script with this command:
# chkconfig mimedefang off

Hi,
When I installed Mimedefang 2.48 (back last November) I followed the mimedefang howto at: http://www.mickeyhill.com/mimedefang-howto/ because gave me a step by step that was easy to follow and understand. In there it states:
Create or edit startup/shutdown script at /etc/init.d/sendmail to start MIMEDefang. Be sure to chmod 755. The sample script below is the Red Hat default script with these two lines added:
/etc/init.d/mimedefang start /etc/init.d/mimedefang stop
and then it goes on to give a sample Redhat Sendmail init script which I used. It works fine to start/stop sendmail and mimedfeang and starts/stops them in the correct order. So again, I ask, can I modify the /etc/init.d/mimedefang start in my /etc/init.d/sendmail to read /etc/init.d/mimedefang -U defang start ??
I'm afraid I don't have a clue about what you were talking about re run levels etc.
