I've been having trouble getting this work.  Specifically I'm having
problems with how to define the milter-socket.  I assume I need to
add Milter-Socket=/var/lib/milter-sender/socket in sendmail.mc somehow?

I've copied the sample milter-sender.mc into sendmail.mc and rebuilt
sendmail.cf.  The default INPUT_MAIL_FILTER macro specifies
/var/lib/milter-sender/socket.  Do I create an empty file called socket in
/var/lib/milter-sender?  If so, who should own it and what should be the
permissions?
