Hi Murray,

Thanks for the response. I did do a google search before posting. Most of
the resources were about the libmiter package and developing milters using
the milter API. I was interested in the actual communication between the MTA
and a milter. Only related page I could find was,
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/AVAR/Sendmail-PMilter-0.98/doc/milter-protocol.txt

However, as I mentioned earlier, the response commands such as 's', 'i' are
not documented in this page.

The wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milter) does mentions
that "documentation of the protocol used for communication between sendmail
and milter processes is not provided. This internal protocol is subject to
changes in new sendmail versions." Probably the responses I am receiving are
introduced in later sendmail versions.

Any other relavent documentation you are aware of will be helpful.

Thanks,
Elan.
