Could it be a transient startup problem? How about permissions on the
parent directories? Try:
ls -ld / /var /var/spool /var/spool/MIMEDefang
to see if any permissions are wrong.
While David is probably right, as he usually is, I've also found that a
"sleep" entry in the startup script between mimedefang and your smtp
server can solve this problem on busy/slow servers. Technically, I
usually need to sleep between the multiplexor and mimedefang because my
servers aren't that slow, but the error is strikingly similar. While
your logs already indicate a difference of one minute, you should ensure
that socket exists prior to postfix starting if permissions aren't your
problem.
