The stop_it function in init-script.in and the stop function in
redhat/mimedefang-init.in both wait for the daemons to exit.

Not at all. This problem is not present with Sendmail, so I have no
idea what would cause it with Postfix. Removing the MIMEDefang socket
prior to starting MIMEDefang should fix this. The samp
