I have supplied /path/to/sendmail to configure, as it's known on Debian
systems.  I have also patched clamav-milter.c so that if sendmail's
version is undefined previously, it will be defined as the version
currently in Debian.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Debian/clamav/0.87/clamav-0.87$ ./configure --help | grep 
sendmail
  --with-sendmail=PATH    specify location of Sendmail binary (default=auto 
find)

So that patch won't work - it will give configure a path to the binary
8.13.5-1, which I'm having trouble imaging exists on most systems :)

Let me look at what went wrong ...

I don't see it.  In my local tree, the patch to supply a sendmail
version is there.  Checking the buildd logs, I see that none of the
build daemons had this problem.

Does the build actually fail for you, or do you just see configure
generate a warning?  If it's just a configure warning, but the build
continues, then there is no problem.  If you are actually getting
failure to build from this, then there is something to investigate.

Take care,
