I'd like to stress the point that a key difference of OpenSMTPD' filters is that they DO NOT EXIT. A filter is just a program (or a script) that is executed by smtpd at start and never exits. If a filter quits, it's a non-recoverable failure and smtpd dies too. The filter and smtpd talk via a simple protocol: smtpd writes lines to the filter standard input and the filter writes its responses to the standard output. Tassilo already shared some very sample code to get you started, for the rest you can refer to smtpd-filters[0] which describes the protocol. Feel free (of course!) to ask for clarification for any aspect not clearly covered in the manual page. Thanks, Omar Polo [0]: https://man.openbsd.org/smtpd-filters.7
