Description send-pr 2002-05-09 23:00:04 UTC 
The ports/mail/vbsfilter Makefile ignores an already installed sendmail
that is part of the base system and configured for milter (e.g. on a
recent 4.5-STABLE, the default sendmail 8.12.3 fulfills all necessary
requirements). The Makefile just looks in /usr/local, doesn't find it
there and tries to re-install sendmail from the ports, which is obvious
nonsense.

You ccan RUN the filter with the base sendmail, but you can't build it.
Most filters needs "libsm.a" and "libsmutil.a" which are not in lib.

You can safely remove the sendmail port after you build your milter.

kind regards Dirk
