Hi,

I got Mimedefang working now. Question: what are these directories for in
/var/spool/MIMEDefang and do I need all these? Seems like a new directory is
created with each e-mail. At this rate, might this eventually cause disk
space problems? Can I delete these?

drwxr-x---    2 defang   defang       4096 Nov  3 16:36

mdefang-something (actually, "something" is sendmail queue ID) are temporary spool directories. Check how MIMEDefang is being called. It might be that it is called with -d option instructing it not to delete temporary spool files (which is usefull for debugging only, but you usually don't want it on production system, since it will quickly fill up file system). Another possiblity is if you killed MIMEDefang while it was still processing an email, directory might be left over.

During normal MIMEDefang operation, you should see those directories created and than removed by MIMEDefang as it process email. If you MIMEDefang was not started with -d, and you still see those directories left over, something is not working right.
