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". ===== INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: Sendmail::Milter 0.18 or later (Alternatively, Sendmail::PMilter 0.90 or later) COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Mail::Milter is part of the PMilter project: http://pmilter.sourceforge.net/ The PMilter packages are: # Copyright (c) 2002-2006 Todd Vierling # All rights reserved. # # Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without # modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: # # 1.
