Hi guys
I've been getting mimedefang-multiplexor dying for some time now on my external 
mail server with mimedefang-2.68. I don't recall it happening on 2.67.
The situation is always when filter_recipient detects an invalid username from 
the internal mail server.
My filter rules (mimedefang-filter) have not changed for a long while, but 
spamassassin and clamav rules are obviously changing frequently.
I am using Fedora 12 with sendmail-8.14.4, mimedefang-2.68, 
spamassassin-3.3.1-2, clamav-0.96 on the external mail server.
The external mail server log shows:

Any ideas what is causing this?
Any suggestions as to how to debug it?

Cheers
