Hi Wieste,

Thanks for the link.I would like to know if my understanding is correct.
Here is what I understood: -

1. Postfix uses Milter (mail filter) protocol to allow external application
to inspect SMTP events (CONNECT, DISCONNECT), SMTP commands (HELO, MAIL
FROM, etc.) as well as mail content (headers and body) as according to the
information from http://www.postfix.org/MILTER_README.html.

2. This would mean filter application should talk with postfix using Milter
instead of HTTP. The application can then be invoked at different stages of
SMTP.

3. When postfix invoke filter application via Milter, information like
sender/recipient address, source IP will be passed together or separately
the way it is sent during SMTP negotiation ?

Thanks
