1 Sendmail::PMilter is a mail filtering API implementing the Sendmail
2 milter protocol in pure Perl. This allows Sendmail servers (and perhaps
3 other MTAs implementing milter) to filter and modify mail in transit
4 during the SMTP connection, all in Perl.
6 It should be noted that PMilter 0.90 and later is NOT compatible with
7 scripts written for PMilter 0.5 and earlier. The API has been reworked
8 significantly, and the enhanced APIs and rule logic provided by PMilter
9 0.5 and earlier has been factored out for inclusion in a separate package
10 to be called Mail::Milter.
12 So, in short, this package should be regarded as a drop-in replacement
13 for Sendmail::Milter, with only some very minor API extensions related
14 to the milter protocol itself. (Sendmail::PMilter includes a wrapper
15 module named Sendmail::Milter to allow old milter scripts to continue
16 working as-is with this package.)
