Re: what happened to smtpd-filters.7 ?

[Harald Dunkel]

Hi Martin,

thank you very much for your response. I stumbled over this
lost man page looking for additional information about the
filters mentioned on https://man.openbsd.org/smtpd.conf.

Apparently there are a few more unused source files in the git
repository. They are very hard to detect without running make.

Re: what happened to smtpd-filters.7 ?

[Martijn van Duren]

filters are implemented in lka_filter.c.
According to cvs log filter.c is removed in 2017 and was probably part
of the first filter attempt.

smtpd-filters.7 has never been hooked up to the build. Probably
because it needs a little more scrutiny. But most in there can be
used.
