October 2022. Sendmail::PMilter ================= Sendmail::PMilter makes it possible - in fact easy - to write milters for the Sendmail or Postfix Mail Transfer Agents in pure Perl. Sendmail::PMilter provides a set of functions which replace those in the 'libmilter' library supplied with Sendmail, plus some constants which are needed to support milters which make use of of the Milter Protocol - especially Version 6 of the Protocol. Sendmail itself has supported the Milter Protocol by default since 2004. It provides the optional 'libmilter' which is written in C. For Perl milters this can be replaced by Sendmail::PMilter. A milter written in Perl does not need the 'libmilter' library, and the 'libmilter' provided by Sendmail need not be built (unless it is needed by other milters). Sendmail::PMilter supports Milter Protocol Version 6 'negotiation'. Sendmail::PMilter supports both IPv4 and IPv6. For installation instructions see the file named INSTALL. If during installation the standard procedures are followed, then the tests in t/ will be run automatically before the final installation step. As of 2022 this author has been using Sendmail::PMilter routinely to handle modest volumes of mail for about six years. In 2022 several users have also admitted to using it with Postfix. So far it seems to be working for them. Enjoy!
