>Description:
The mimedefang port is stale. The newer version potentially solves a problem where mimedefang does not properly start upon reboot. In this condition, no incoming mail will be delivered until the process is manually restarted. So it's basically a DoS for incoming mail, which is pretty important.
>How-To-Repeat:
The port is listed as mimedefang-2.64_1 but <http://www.mimedefang.org> shows 2.67 as the latest.
>Fix:
Update the port.
