Of course! As I said: the clamav and sa milters *have* to be used after the 
greylisting milter because they are for the DATA phase. If you do not add any 
ordering then they *will* be carried out later as otherwise it doesn't make 
sense. This is different for milter-null and milter-greylist, both are used 
during the connect/header stage. So, your experience can simply not be applied to 
this situation.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. What else should I use than .mc and .m4 
files?

The point is that INPUT_MAIL_FILTERS is specifically meant for ordering milters 
according to the sendmail documentation. However, as it doesn't seem to work for 
milter-null/milter-greylist I suspect that there is something in the way the 
milters or sendmail works that prohibits milter-null kicking in first. I'm quite 
convinced that it works for other milters. I wanted to have a 
confirmation/explanation/whatever in case somebody knows more about this.
