I believe that this entry is no longer needed since 8.12.x, MILTER has 
become a fully recognized component of sendmail.

However, the devtools/Site/site.config.m4 will incorporate the MILTER 
component in the compilation.  Read the Documentation several times. 
 However this file will include the following:

more site.config.m4
dnl Milter
APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DMILTER')
APPENDDEF(`conf_libmilter_ENVDEF', `-D_FFR_MILTER_ROOT_UNSAFE')

This will reduce the amount of details logged by MIMEDefang and the MILTER.
