I never actually used libmilter. When I looked at its reference I had been fooled by the calls' names --xxfi_header, xxfi_eoh-- into believing they were occurring "live" while receiving the body. The message cited said how sendmail works, correcting my wrong opinion. Although conceptually easier than I thought, a milter compatibility layer still requires a good deal of coding, though. It would result in duplicating many existing functionalities, e.g. header parsing... >> -------- Original Message -------- >> From: Murray S.

For example, if one wanted to add DKIM support in C, it would seem easier and safer to write a courier global filter using libopendkim than write a milter compatibility layer for using the opendkim milter module. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
