Hi Lisa,
I recomend that you start sendmail with /etc/init.d/sendmail and start
mimedefang with
/etc/init.d/mimedefang
The /etc/init.d/mimedefang always starts before sendmail, so that your
sendmail will
always found a running sendmail when the system boot.
If you modified /etc/init.d/sendmail,
Hi Lisa,
I think I forgot to tell you to compile the mimedefang source, not
install it, just compile.
This will build a correct redhat/mimedefang-init file for you.
Just follow this commands:
# tar xzf mimedefang-2.51.tar.gz
# cd mimedefang-2.51
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --wit
Jim,
Thanks for the tips so far.
Same gcc used for both versions compiles, although gcc itself is pretty
old (2.95.3)
I will try an update to it and see if that corrects the issue.
Sorry should have mentioned in the initial post that the exact same
behavior occurs in cpan (all prereqs are up to

You mean /etc/sysconfig/mimedefang.

Hi,
When I installed Mimedefang 2.48 (back last November) I followed the
mimedefang howto at: http://www.mickeyhill.com/mimedefang-howto/ because
gave me a step by step that was easy to follow and understand. In there it
states:
