backend is a bit vague without a context around it. There are currently 4 "pluggable" API in OpenSMTPD: - tables - queues - schedulers - filters Each of these API respect a very specific interface which lets you write your own custom table / queue / scheduler / filter which OpenSMTPD knows how to talk to out of the box. The native way to write backends is using the C language, however we had python backends written for each API so that it is now possible to write a table, a queue, a scheduler or a filter in Python. So to answer you "what the python backend makes available" question: It makes the API available to Python developers. -- Gilles Chehade https://www.poolp.org @poolpOrg -- You received this mail because you are subscribed to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send a mail to: [email protected]
