Mailfilter

[Robert Storey]

Dear All,

For awhile now I've been using a Linux/Unix program called Mailfilter,
and it is SUPERB. It has solved my problems with the continuous
bombardment of Windows viruses that pour into my inbox. Unlike Procmail,
Mailfilter deletes the garbage on the mail server, so you don't have to
download, which is of major importance if you're on dialup (as I am most
of the time).

Alas, I have not been able to get Mailfilter to compile on FreeBSD, even
though it is claimed to work. It is not in the ports collection (though
I wish it was - any developers interested?). Rather, you have to
download the source from Sourceforge and compile.

Below I've reproduced the part of the make process where the error shows
up. If anybody has a suggestion, I'd be grateful.

best regards,
Robert
