[Mimedefang] Sendmail -DMILTER Issues

[Helpdesk - Iwave]

hi Halter,

Freshly un tar the sendmail source to a diffrent directory and follow the
steps as given by others in this thread.

Before you do a sh Build in the sendmail directory
1) create the site.config.m4 as mentioned in previous mails
2) cd libmilter and execute
  sh build
sh build install

Even i had the same problem

Hope I have made your life easy,

Regards
Sudharshan
