It's been almost a year since I compiled greylisting, but what you experience does sound familiar. If not mistaken the file greylisting looks for is limbilter.a , could you verify this is placed in the path mentioned above? Have you compiled sendmail yourself or is it installed from package?

You should also verify that sendmail have been compiled with milter enabled, run sendmail -d0 and look for MILTER.

Hi, Jonas,

if i try to execute ./configure i always get the message "required libmilter not found, use --with-libmilter". So i extracted the sendmail-libmilter-includes from source and installed them in /usr/include. Then i tried to invoke 
./configure --with-libmilter=/usr/include/libmilter and got the same message. I even tried 1000 other possibilities, but the message remains the same. Whats wrong ? Can you help me ?

Regards
Michael

You should install sendmail-devel package.

That kind of OS specific info would be nice on the wiki I registered
and that no one has started to use. :-(

I think it should be in the main documentation, wiki IMHO should contain
specific examples. And it would be nice to have a link to wiki in the
main site, if you want people to start using wiki.

That would be because the site is read-only.  Allow strangers to
modify it; it's a wiki, after all.  Spammers won't plague it thanks to
required user accounts.

In a previous thread someone asked for a wiki and manu said he would
link to it from the web site. I posted in that thread that I had
registered a wiki but never got a reply. I can't add the link myself.

What do mean by read-only? I registered a test account on wikidot.org
and joined the milter-greylist wiki (both actions required) and had no
problems editing pages. As you imply, without registration a wiki can
be full of crap. Wiki spam. :-)

I haven't registered a wiki on that site before so it's entirely
possible there are issues to fix in the beginning.

I registered with wikidot and cannot write to the wiki.  While logged
in, I get this error:
----
Permission error
Oooops!

Sorry, you can not edit this page. Only members of this site, site
administrators and perhaps selected moderators are allowed to.
----

Clicking on the "Site members" link on the menu to the left reveals
only three accounts (two of which were added in the past few hours).
If possible, allow anybody with an account on wikidot to edit the wiki
so that you don't have to approve everybody manually.

I added it to the project page, perhaps it will help.

It's done now, sorry for letting it slip through at once.

Thanks, I'll add some more material myself and Johann Klasek wants to
add bits about the Solaris file descriptor issue and 64-bit Linux.
Adam Katz also added Debian stuff yesterday so it's slowly picking up.
:-)

What I really want to see there is help specific to each OS how to
build from source or get packages. Also example configs that
accomplish certain things. Possibly simple ways of parsing the logs
for stats. Basically what gets asked a lot on the mailing list.

I have tuned the permissions slightly, I hope it's enough. It still
requires an account on wikidot.com to edit, I want that so we don't
get a spam problem, the upside is that with one account one can join
all existing wikis on wikidot.com or create new wikis. I have allowed
existing pages to be edited by people who haven't yet joined the
milter-greylist wiki (only has a wikidot.com account) to shorten the
process if I'm not fast enough to approve your application when you're
in the mood to change some info. People who register can do more
though, mainly create new pages.

I have also enabled an invite module (Invite your friends on the left
menu) so you can send invites to others.
