Hi,

I just noticed that Sendmail::PMilter is no longer being maintained,
which is a pity.

However, for those who use Sendmail, here's something to think
about.

I'd like to mention that I just upgraded my sendmail to the
latest version and have come across an error.

SMFIC_OPTNEG: unknown milter protocol version 6

As far as I get from the RELEASE_NOTES in Sendmail,
since 8.14.0, they had changed the SMFI_VERSION:

LIBMILTER: The meaning of the version macro SMFI_VERSION
           has been changed.  It now refers only to the
           version of libmilter, not to the protocol version
           (which is used only internally, it is not user/milter-
           programmer visible).  Additionally, a version function
           smfi_version() has been introduced such that a
          milter program can check the libmilter version also
          at runtime which is useful if a shared library is used.

I went to blib/lib/Sendmail/PMilter and took a look at Context.pm.

   my ($ver, $actions, $protocol) = unpack('NNN', $buf);

   die "SMFIC_OPTNEG: unknown milter protocol version $ver\n" \
        unless ($ver == 2);


After unpacking, I get:

  $ver = 6
  $actions = 511
  $protocol = 2097151

I know (because I tried this) changing the last line above
to :
   die "SMFIC_OPTNEG: unknown milter protocol version $ver\n" \
        unless ($ver == 6);

works; but, will it screw something up later on?

Anyone have any idea?
