Milter has been designed by sendmail's team and officially released in 2001 (sendmail-8.12.0). Postfix added support for milters in 2006 (postfix-2.3.0). Sendmail's team policy has been that users/developers should use milter library provided by sendmail (milter API) => the milter protocol has been treated as "internal implementation detail" and (AFAIK) it has never been *officially* documented. One of milter *protocol* documentation is available in pmilter project (pure perl milter) http://pmilter.sourceforge.net/ If you want "milter API" documentation for milter developers than look into documentation provided in sendmail. -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : a...@onet.eu I didn't get sophisticated -- I just got tired.
