Just wondering if anyone has tried the new mail filter capability in
recent versions of sendmail, and if so, how successful it is.

It hasn't been included in the sendmail i386.rpm package for rh70
(not suprised as it is considered beta), and when I tried to rebuild
sendmail from the src.rpm it failed due to a missing db.h file.

        <groan>

        Which is very frustrating.... I have a fairly complete
        development environment here, yet attempting to rebuild it
        still failed.  I have all the dbm packages I can find
        installed, the headers are in /usr/include/*/ directories.
        How what this package built in the first place... on a
        non-standard development box at redhat???  So how am I
        supposed to know what db.h file I need to use?  Poor show.

        src.rpm files should build out of the box, and if things are
        missing on the build system, then the .spec file used to
        build them should have EVERYTHING that is needed stated as a
        requirement and complain and/or refuse to build them.

        </groan>

With the explosion of email-born viruses, I really need to start
looking at implementing mail filtering asap.  And not only for
local->out and remote->in, but also for relayed mail.  milter
appears to be the only real alternative for sendmail, most other
things I've looked at so far that work with sendmail don't seem to
handle non-local relay mail at all.

Any help or suggestions or alternatives (that work with sendmail)
would be most appreciated by any gurus here.

Cheers
Tony
