working

I'm trying to establish why I'm currently having a problem with my
sendmail/mimedefang setup after upgrading from 5.2 to 5.4. I found these
files in /etc/mail:
.mc
.cf
.submit.mc
.submit.cf
I thought this looked curious, albeit (to me) meaningless:
# diff -u freebsd.submit.cf .submit.cf
--- freebsd.submit.cf Sun May 29 12:51:09 2005
+++ .submit.cf Sun May 29 12:52:08 2005

Yes, there was a hiccup when running mergemaster. Unfortunately I don't
recall exactly what happened, except there was some finger trouble on my
part and I ran mergemaster a second time (which appeared to do what I
expected it to do, i.e. present me with a few files which I hadn't
correctly manipulated in the first attempt).
So I've removed and renamed the files in /etc/mail as I thought most
appropriate, run make and restarted sendmail but I still can't get
mimedefang operational - everything I've checked seems to be as it
should be, e.g.:
mailnull 44333 0.0 0.5 2684 1224 ?? I 4:34AM 0:00.01 /usr/local/bin/mimedefang-multiplexor -p /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang-multiplexor.pid -m 2 -x 10 -U mailnull -b 600 -R 10000 -
mailnull 44336 0.0 9.8 25960 24524 ?? I 4:34AM 0:05.37 /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/mimedefang.pl -server
mailnull 44346 0.0 0.4 1820 1104 ?? S 4:34AM 0:00.09 /usr/local/bin/mimedefang -P /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.pid -m /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang-multiplexor.sock -U mailnull
mailnull 44347 0.0 9.8 25960 24524 ?? I 4:34AM 0:05.30 /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/mimedefang.pl -server
and I can't find any errors in /var/log/messages or /var/log/maillog.
However neither spamassassin or clamav are being called.
How might I verify that the correct, updated files have ended up
in /etc/mail? Anything else I can verify re mimedefang?
Thanks,
Wayne
