I once saw something interesting about this topic in J-chkmail's
mailing-list (the post was from Jose : j-chkmail's author) 

- before version 8.12, libmilter used the strlcpy function 
strlcpy (part of libsmutil), hence the need of this lib for linking.

- in versions 8.12.0 et 8.12.1, the  sm_snprintf function was used 
instead (defined in libsm). 

- since version 8.12.2, sendmail uses the snprintf function defined
in the standard  libc...

so now (sendmail >= 8.12.2) these libs are not needed to compile 
Milter appplications ...

best regards,
