I recently had this problem with a new suse install and I figured it out. Create the defang group first with groupadd defang then do a useradd -s /bin/false -g defang defang. Delete the /var/spool/MIMEDefang and /var/spool/MD-Quarentine directoried. Then reinstall mimdefang and it should fix that. It worked for me anyway.
