libmilter broken in FreeBSD8 ?

[Ferdinand Goldmann]

Following up on my own posting here...

I solved the mystery. A bug in MIMDEdefang is to blame, see here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/mimedefang@lists.roaringpenguin.com/msg14658.html

By adding the macros to the mimedefang invocation via the -a command line switch
I was able to solve the problem.

So anyone of you upgrading to a newer version of MIMEdefang, be careful. :-)

Cheers,
Ferdinand
