True, but for a while, I was doing a lot of reboots for new kernels.

Unless MD craps out or you stop/start it a lot, you shouldn't get any
of these.

This also works:
/bin/touch /var/spool/MIMEDefang/*.pid
/bin/touch /var/spool/MIMEDefang/*.sock
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch 24 /var/spool/MIMEDefang
This makes sure that the important files are "fresh", and then anything
older than 24 hours gets deleted.
It's easy to add this to the /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch file on a RedHat-
based OS.
