compiling on freebsd

I finally got the cvs version to compile (now I remember why I gave up  
awhile ago doing this)

the configure script tests for libmilter, but pthread isn't added, and  
is needed atleast on my freebsd, 6.2

I had to upgrade libdkim to get the configure script not to throw a  
fit about it (kept complaining of missing pthread till I upgraded  
dkim). Have version 2.6.0 now, and it needs libar

Would you contribute a fix? I don't have a FreeBSD box, so I cannot test
it.

Note that 6.2 is not supported by the FreeBSD security team
anymore, and it contains several bugs that are not fixed
(there are at least four advisories, some of them serious,
such as being able to easily panic the machine remotely).

I recommend that you update to 6.3-release-p4 or 6-stable
(which is currently approaching 6.4-release).  If you plan
to update FreeBSD's milter-greylist port, it also makes
more sense to use an up-to-date version of FreeBSD.
Making it compile on an old, obsolete version doesn't make
much sense, IMO.

Best regards
