You can set LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib" ./configure to make sure /usr/lib is
searched when looking for libmilter, although, your gcc should be
searching this directory by default anyway.

I presume the output of gcc -lmilter fails early (can't find
libmilter), while gcc -L/usr/lib -lmilter fails later (undefined
reference to main).

Quite the contrary; they *love* collateral damage. If they can make
you miserable enough, maybe you'll stop using email entirely. Once
enough people do that, then there'll be no legitimate reason left for
anyone to run an SMTP server, and the spam problem will be solved.
