	Did you compile sendmail with Milter support?  Did you create the 
necessary site files prior to compiling sendmail?  This is not "definitely 
a Mimedefang problem" - specially not when many others have gotten it to 
work just fine, some right out of the box.  If you have followed every 
instruction, step by step, you also would have a working sendmail right 
now.  Don't be so sure in blaming something without making sure it wasn't 
operator error.
