OT - Greylisting (was: Re: gOCR SpamAssassin plugin)

[David While]

For the Redhat make sure that you have the sendmail-devel rpm installed. the libmilter is not part of the sendmail rpm but the sendmail development rpm.

	I have been trying to install milter-greylist all day on my sendmail 8.12 &
	8.13 systems (Redhat & Centos mixture), but keep getting the error "checking
	for smfi_register in -lmilter -lsm... no
	checking for smfi_register in -lmilter -lsmutil... no
	Required libmilter not found. Use --with-libmilter"
	
	I have tried google, but as yet have not found the answer, has any kind
	person give me a clue ?
	
	Thanks
	
	Denis
