Should be in sendmail-devel greetings, Florian La Roche Well I feel rather dumb! After all these years of using sendmail - I had no idea there was a sendmail-devel rpm.

Description of problem: The lastest rpm release of sendmail is "finally" compiled with milter support, but does not install the milter library (libmilter.a) as part of the rpm. This library is needed to compile (and ultimately use) a sendmail milter. To verify...
