1)  A bug report was already done (last week).  Claus A. addressed it on comp.mail.sendmail (on June 6).

2)  Using the milter, "-lmilter" does not automatically include "-lbind" which is necessary as the milter library DOES depend on the bind library.  As MIMEDefang does use other DNS-related calls (e.g. bad-mx, dnsbl calls, etc.), it should be including the bind library anyway.

The bug in the milter library only seems to appear when IPv6 support is compiled in - as the code that references the function is only used with IPv6 address lookups.  People running IPv4-only systems won't notice it.
