Macros are something sendmail has, but I don't know if Postfix has them. They are basically variables present in the MTA which are made available to filters at various stages of the SMTP process. The MTA's host name, the message's job ID, AUTH method used, the result of the IDENT query on the client, etc. are all available inside the MTA and can be added to a list of values passed to filters so they can be used in those contexts as well as the data that comes down as part of the milter protocol. For example: Internally at Sendmail, Inc. we have some of our MTAs set specific macros based on the client IP address and whether or not the client authenticated using one of a specific set of methods. Then dkim-filter checks to see if those macros are set and to what values when deciding whether to sign or verify the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
