We've successfully written milters (Google pymilter) that check a
MySQL database to accept inbound mails for anyone who is in this

Exchange server, the milter triggers a FILTER relay:192.168.x.x
response to pass the email to Exchange without any further processing.
If your CardDav server is local, and uses MySQL as the backend, it's
easier to have a milter query MySQL directly. Depending on the size of
the DB, you will need to do some query optimization, get your indexes
set properly, etc... that will lower the query times and not add much
latency.
Our milter queries a 250K row table of contacts in 10ms, which adds
around 30ms latency to the inbound email based on log times.
If we had to do that over http with a multi-round trip 401
authorization and / or oath, that latency would skyrocket by
comparison.
My two cents.

Hello Bastian,
Thanks for the advice, I will consider it. I am pretty sure to know
how to do this.
However, because the CardDav server is on the same host, I think it
should not be an issue.
I made a few tests, and the performances are even better than some
anti-spam milters like SpamAssassin...
The other reason is I want to add headers to the email, and let the
users decide how they want to process personal emails.
Perhaps I can add headers with a global sieve filter as well, and
have the same result.
André.

Well, don't. Milter is latency sensitive and it will break mail
delivery if you don't manage to get it right.
If you use the correct Sieve implementation you can ask it to run
stuff

Hello Michael,
Thanks for this, this is what I thought as well. The database should not
contain more than a 100 contacts, and it local.
Python / PostgreSQL should do the trick.
