Sure, and I have tried that. However, the milter-sender instructs says:
[...}Note that Sendmail will probably have to be rebuilt to use Berkeley
DB, especially if the library was never installed and/or Sendmail was built
against an older version of Berkeley DB.[...]

So, if not compiled in, sendmail/milters won't use the new DB just merely
installed.

....alas, I don't write code -- not that I wouldn't want to, but it is just
not one of my skills.
Also, I suppose "bloat" can stem from too many milters running -- sort of
winds up at the same place as one bigger milter...??

....yes, this is what I have rooted for if that were possible.

Hope Remy is encouraged in this direction.
