sendmail with milter support by default?

[Wijnand Wiersma]

Hi all,

I am getting sick and tired of all the crap I'm receiving so I decided
to do some spamfiltering on my OpenBSD mailserver. I checked the ports
and see several nice milters so I start installing. Later I find out
that I need to recompile sendmail with milter support, something I
don't like to do. I want to keep my OpenBSD installation as much as
the default install as possible. If I do a make build later I don't
want to have a broken mail system when I forget to set WANT_LIBMILTER.

What are main the reasons this is not enabled by default? Most
mailservers could use some filtering options by default.

And no, I don't want to replace sendmail with postfix, I always stick
to the default on the used operating system.

If this was a stupid question, go ahead, flame. A quick archive search
did not reveal usefull information to me.

It's enabled for more than two years.

Thanks for your answer, Jasper is updating the port descriptions as we speak :-)
