Hi Alex

That is true (I did it myself) - the real "problem" is not the usage
pattern but the build-dependency on libmilter-dev and the runtime
dependency on libmilter (currently libmilter1.0.1) which are both built
from the sendmail source package which seems currently unmaintainend...

Ok popcon gave me the impression that there is a very small userbase...

Well I personally do not use it anymore as the pre-queue content filter
setup is IMHO equally powerfull and due to
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=618862 I also won't
run systemd in the near future which may further impede my ability to
deal with bugreports properly - but as there seems to be an considerable
userbase I will at least package the new upstream version and try to
close the open bug before freeze.
