Thank you for the information!

I was planning (actually, I'm forced to) to use one box as MTA and have
the actual filtering done on two other boxes with a common DNS-name
(round robin). I'm assuming sendmail resolves the hostname of the milter
connection once per SMTP session, but I haven't looked at the source...

Anyone have experience with the configuration I'm suggesting?

Thank you,
