Description :
Sendmail::PMilter is a mail filtering API implementing the Sendmail Milter
Protocol in Perl. This allows the administrator of Sendmail (and perhaps
other MTAs which implement the Milter Protocol) to use pure Perl code to
filter and modify mail during an SMTP connection.
Over the years, the protocol which governs the communication between
qSendmail and its milters has passed through a number of revisions.
This documentation is for Sendmail::PMilter versions 1.20 and later, which
now supports Milter Protocol Version 6. This is a substantial upgrade from
earlier versions, which at best supported up to Milter Protocol Version 2 -
this was first seen in Sendmail version 8.14.0 which was released on
January 31st 2007.
Sendmail::PMilter now uses neither the original Sendmail::Milter (it is
obsolete, badly flawed and unmaintained) nor the Sendmail::Milter which was
packaged with earlier versions of Sendmail::PMilter as a temporary
workaround for the broken original.
For communications between the MTA and the milter, a \'dispatcher\' acts as a
go-between. This must be chosen when the milter is initialized, before it
serves requests. Several dispatchers are provided within the
Sendmail::PMilter module, but in versions before 1.20 all the dispatchers
suffered from issues of varying gravity. The \'prefork\' dispatcher (see
DISPATCHERS below) has now been extensively exercised by the current
maintainer, but although the others have been patched from issue reports
going back more than a decade from the time of writing (June 2019) THEY
HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED. Feedback via the CPAN issue tracking system is
encouraged. If you have developed your own dispatcher you can either pass a
code reference to set_dispatcher() or set an environment variable to point
to it. Sendmail::PMilter will then use it instead of a built-in dispatcher.
