I'm working from what I 'THINK' I know from reading existing
plugins and creating my own. There doesn't seem to be any documentation
describing much of anything. (I don't have the latest release, and won't
until I get my new server built.)
So, I don't know what to expect by making the call you suggest.
What is the information it provides and where does it get it from? The
pop-before-smtp plugin is the first one that runs, since it does some
other things with the IP address, which happen to include seeing if it's
on that relay list. Why read the list twice, eh? Just set a flag the first
time that the other plugin can read. But that's now what I'm doing -
reading it again in the check_relay plugin - because it works.
It was suggested I look into $connection->notes() , which I
haven't done yet - so many things on the go, but I'll get around to it,
maybe today.
