The latest update of package mimedefang added a code section to the
init script /etc/init.d/mimedefang to initialize the directory
/var/spool/MIMEDefang. Unfortunately it sets the owner to "defang",

This kills MIMEDefang installations such as mine where the
configuration variable MX_USER has been changed from the default
"defang".
To fix that problem, I propose something like the following patch:
(Sorry for whitespace damage and line wrap, I'm quite busy getting all
our mail servers to work properly again right now, so I'm just pushing
