The API in use today was introduced late 2019, three years later, after a complete redesign and rewrite from scratch sharing nothing with the previous attempt. It is working in a radically different way that's much simpler and also easier to fix if a bug is reported. The status of filters API is that it was part of snapshots since 2018 for testing, released late 2019 as an experimental feature and considered stable since 2020. It has been part of the last 9 OpenBSD releases and OpenSMTPD portable releases since 6.6.0p1. Considering that it's the only way to interface DKIM or spam filters, the API is used by a significant amount of users and while bugs can still exist, we're at a point where it's more likely the issue is not with the API itself. > I'm running OpenSMTPD on OpenBSD 7.4, which I plan to upgrade in few days to > 7.5, does this upgrade helps with this issue? > The code that caused the issue you mentioned was removed and replaced before 6.6, so that's 8 releases before 7.4. Without understanding what is causing the issue I can't tell you if upgrading can fix but if it does it's not due to a fix in OpenSMTPD. > BTW it works without any question for month, I guess. > That's another hint that something unusual is happening, I don't see the API working for month then suddenly leaking descriptors. Give more details please
