We've some features (such as DKIM signing) we'd like to deploy, but
currently the only program that meets our requirements is OpenDKIM,
which is available as a before-queue milter. However, we've a concern
about using such milters, specifically, if the milter is broken or
times out lots of email gets rejected because resources get consumed
and never freed. An example may be a milter that relies on LDAP, and
the LDAP server goes down.
I noticed in the release notes that Postfix 2.7 receives the full
message before sending it to the before-queue milter, but I don't think
this addresses the concern.
Milter applications see SMTP commands as they happen.
That doesn't really address anything I'm asking here. My question is what
happens if the milters are broken. If they are broken, I doubt they are
seeing much SMTP command wise.
