For versions of python prior to 2.0, you will need to download distutils
separately or build manually. You will need to download unittest
separately to run the test programs. The bdist_rpm distutils option seems
not to work for python 2.0; upgrade to at least 2.1.1.
Now that everything is installed, we need to tell sendmail that we're going
to filter incoming email. Add lines similar to the following to
sendmail.cf:
```
O InputMailFilters=pythonfilter
Xpythonfilter, S=local:/home/username/pythonsock

The "O" line tells sendmail which filters to use in what order; here we're
telling sendmail to use the filter named "pythonfilter".

To allow sendmail and the milter process to communicate with each
other over IPv6, you may use the "inet6" socket name prefix, as in:
```
Xpythonfilter, S=inet6:1234@fec0:0:0:7::5c
```
The connect() callback method in the milter class will pass the
IPv6-specific information in the 'hostaddr' argument as a tuple. Note
that the type of this value is dependent upon the protocol family, and
