We are running RHEL3 using the default sendmail RPM installation, modulo 
up2date:  sendmail-8.12.11-4.RHEL3.6.  Milters are enabled by default.
All I had to do was modify the this file:

   /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

with a line that enabled the particular milter, then run the "m4" command 
to re-build the sendmail.cf file.

The milter I'm using is a daemon, and the M4 macro had to contain the 
parameters sendmail needed to talk to the milter daemon.  Here's the M4 
line I'm using:

   INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`vamilter',`S=inet:3333@localhost,F=R,T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m')

as recommended by the milter's vendor.
