The headers and milter library you used to compile sendmail aren't thesame 
as the ones you used to compile MIMEDefang.  It's actually a common error, 
and not that "scary".

Just make sure the only sendmail source (i.e., the header files) and
libraries on your machine are the actual ones used to compile the
running sendmail, then do a "make clean" and "make" on MIMEDefang.

Jeff, thank you for your answer.

In the process of compiling sendmail, I did the following:
cp -R include/* /usr/local/include/sendmail/
cp -R sendmail/*.h /usr/local/include/sendmail/
cp obj.Linux.2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.i686/*/*.a /usr/local/lib/

so that mimedefang will be able to use them. And indeed when I ./configure 
mimedefang, I get the following:
********************************************************************
checking for libmilter/mfapi.h... /usr/include/libmilter/mfapi.h
hecking for libmilter.a... /usr/local/lib/libmilter.a
checking for libsm.a... /usr/local/lib/libsm.a
.
.
.
checking whether libmilter must be linked with libsm... no
********************************************************************
which I guess means mimedefang is using the right libs and headers.

I have a previous installation of sendmail which is part of the eoe.sw.base 
IRIX subsystem.

Has anyone got this setup working on IRIX 6.5?

Jeff(or anyone else), any hints on what I can do to solve this issue?

Thank you,
Gilad.
