I agree that it would not be good to "bloat" the code on milter-greylist,
but I sure would like to use the "callback" feature. I cannot do that by
using milter-sender because it requires a later version of DB than the one
already compiled in sendmail-8.12.11 -- which is already compiled in my
base system of FBSD-4.10.

It would be nice to be able to make use of existing DBs like the
"/etc/mailaccess" and aliases,etc.

Why does milter-sender need the later version of Berkley DB....??

Sorry if off-topic, but is a followup on this thread.
