Mail::Milter version 0.07
=========================
$Id: README,v 1.13 2006/03/22 15:48:44 tvierling Exp $
Mail::Milter is a set of modules useful to mail filter writers who are
using the Sendmail::Milter and/or Sendmail::PMilter APIs to interface
directly to the SMTP transaction. Among those currently included are:
Mail::Milter::Chain
A milter container. This allows multiple milter instances to exist
within a single milter server, and still play together nicely.
With this, an almost rule-based meta-milter can be created.
Mail::Milter::Object
Allows a milter to exist as a blessed object, using method names
rather than subroutine references to supply the callbacks. This adds
modularity and makes milter objects easier to understand.
Mail::Milter::Wrapper
"Wraps" a milter with a user-supplied interception subroutine. This
can be used to defer a failure return code, add a descriptive message,
and many other things.
Mail::Milter::Module::*
Off-the-shelf milter modules that perform commonly used functions.
Most useful in conjunction with Mail::Milter::Chain.
Mail::Milter::Wrapper::*
Off-the-shelf milter wrappers that can perform commonly desired
editing operations on milter return codes.
For a complete list of available modules, see "perldoc Mail::Milter".
