If I were to use a multithreaded C milter , and I need to use a redis handle ( Not thread safe ) How do I maintain persistent redis handle so that I dont have to connect to redis for every mail The milter would have to talk to a single-threaded child process that has the Redis handle.

Re: Is the development of Milters still encouraged
If you need access to SMTP session *and* content at the pre-queue stage, MILTERs are the way to go.
