Package: libmilter1
Version: 8.14.1-9
Severity: wishlist

According to the dkim-milter README (which requires libmilter to work),
the key to building a dkim-filter binary built for high performance
environments is to build libmilter to use poll() rather than select(),
the reason is poll() is able to handle higher descriptors than select()
is on some systems. During high loads where lots of descriptors can be
in simultaneous use, this can become crucial.

This is accomplished by modifying the sendmail build file 
(devtools/Site/site.config.m4) to contain this:

dnl # use poll() instead of select() in libmilter
APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF', `-DSM_CONF_POLL=1')dnl

Thanks,
micah
