<p>
<h2>NAME</h2>FBB::Milter - Interface to the sendmail mail filter facilities
<p>
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
    <strong>#include &lt;bobcat/milter&gt;</strong><br>
    Linking option: <em>-lmilter -lbobcat</em> 
<p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>
<strong>Milter</strong> defines an abtract base class interfacing to the sendmail mail
filter (milter) facilities. It defines a <strong>C++</strong> interface, based on the
assumption that a single mail filter program does not implement multiple mail
filters. The traditional sendmail <strong>C</strong>-based Milter API uses a (<em>SMFICTX</em>)
pointer representing a mail connection, and a pointer to connection-specific
`private' data, requiring the Milter constructor to perform quite a few
administrative tasks. While acceptable in a <strong>C</strong> environment these
administratve tasks distract from the main task: the Milter's mail filtering
functionality. The <strong>FBB::Milter</strong> class hides these administrative tasks from
the programmer, who is then able to concentrate on filtering mail. The main
benefits of <strong>Milter</strong> are therefore
    <ul>
    <li> Basic administration is performed by the <strong>Milter</strong> class
    <li> The class' interface is more <strong>C++</strong> like than the raw <strong>C</strong>
interface offered by the milter API.
    <li> Administration, allocation and communicating of connection specific
data is no longer required
    <li> It is not normally necessary to use connection-specific data, like a
pointer identifying the connection, anymore when implementing the Milter.
    <li> <strong>Milter</strong> uses current-day design patterns enforcing principles of
reuable software, thus simplifying the construction of the actual Milter.
    </ul>
    To activate a milter from the <em>sendmail.mc</em> configuration file, use,
e.g., <em>INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`name', `S=socket')</em>, where <em>name</em> is the
milter's name, and <em>socket</em> is the name of the socket. See also the
<em>setConnection</em> member below.
<p>
<h2>NAMESPACE</h2>
    <strong>FBB</strong><br>
    All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this
man-page, are defined in the namespace <strong>FBB</strong>.
<p>
<h2>INHERITS FROM</h2>
    -
<p>
<h2>ENUMERATIONS</h2>
<p>
The class defines four enumerations. One enumeration is used to indicate
the callback-functions that need to be called, the second one renames the
flags that can be passed to sendmail to indicate which actions the milter is
allowed to perform. The third one defines status values that may be used to
inform sendmail how to further process a message. The fourth one defines
return values. The enumerations are:
<p>
<strong>enum CallBack</strong><br>
    This enumeration holds the following values:
    <ul>
    <li> <strong>CONNECT</strong>:<br>
        Indicates that the milter defines (overrides) the
connection-functionality. This is the first callback function that can be
called by sendmail.
    <li> <strong>HELO</strong>:<br>
        Indicates that the milter defines (overrides) the
helo-functionality. This indicates that the <em>helo</em> function should be
called by sendmail, providing the milter with information about the connecting
client. 
    <li> <strong>SENDER</strong>:<br>
        Indicates that the milter defines (overrides) the
sender-functionality. This indicates that the <em>sender</em> function should be
called by sendmail, providing the milter with the sender's envelope
information. 
    <li> <strong>RECIPIENT</strong>:<br>
        Indicates that the milter defines (overrides) the
recipient-functionality. This indicates that the <em>recipient</em> function
should be called by sendmail, providing the milter with the recipient's
envelope information.
    <li> <strong>HEADER</strong>:<br>
        Indicates that the milter defines (overrides) the
header-functionality. This indicates that the <em>header</em> function
should be called by sendmail for each mail header that is used in the current
mail message.
    <li> <strong>EOH</strong>:<br>
        Indicates that the milter defines (overrides) the
end-of-header-functionality. This indicates that the <em>eoh</em> function
should be called by sendmail once all header lines have been processed.
    <li> <strong>BODY</strong>:<br>
        Indicates that the milter defines (overrides) the
body-functionality. This indicates that the <em>body</em> function
should be called by sendmail, offering the mail-body to the milter.
    <li> <strong>EOM</strong>:<br>
        Indicates that the milter defines (overrides) the
end-of-message-functionality. This indicates that the <em>eom</em> function
should be called by sendmail, once all elements of the e-mail message have
been processed.
    <li> <strong>ABORT</strong>:<br>
        Indicates that the milter defines (overrides) the
abort-functionality. The <em>abort</em> function may be called by sendmail before
<em>eom</em> is called. It should reclaim all resources used by the message, but
not delete any memory allocated by the milter, as this is <em>close</em>'s job.
    <li> <strong>CLOSE</strong>:<br>
        Indicates that the milter defines (overrides) the
close-functionality. The <em>close</em> function should delete all (connection
specific) memory allocated by the milter. It may be called `out-of-order',
i.e. even before <em>connect</em> is called and developers should anticipate this
possibility when crafting their <em>close</em> code. In particular, it is
incorrect to assume the private context pointer will be something other than
0 in this callback.
    <li> <strong>UNKNOWN</strong>:<br>
        Currently not used. Reserved for versions exceeding version 2 of the
sendmail milter API
    <li> <strong>DATA</strong>:<br>
        Currently not used. Reserved for versions exceeding version 3 of the
sendmail milter API
    <li> <strong>ALL_CALLBACKS</strong>:<br>
        Shortcut to indicate all callback facilities. The <em>CallBack</em> values
are bit-flags. The <em>bit_or</em> operator may be used to combine them, and the
<em>bit_not</em> operator may be used to remove a flag from <em>ALL_CALLBACKS</em>
(e.g., <em>ALL_CALLBACKS &amp;&amp; ~ABORT</em>).
    </ul>
<p>
<strong>enum Flags</strong><br>
    This enumeration holds the following values:
    <ul>
    <li> <strong>NO_FLAGS</strong>:<br>
        No flags are defined.
    <li> <strong>ADD_HEADERS</strong>:<br>
        This flag indicates that the milter is allowed to add headers to the
current e-mail message.
    <li> <strong>ADD_RECIPIENTS</strong>:<br>
        This flag indicates that the milter is allowed to add recipients to the
current e-mail message.
    <li> <strong>CHANGE_BODY</strong>:<br>
        This flag indicates that the milter is allowed to modify the message's
body contents.
    <li> <strong>CHANGE_HEADERS</strong>:<br>
        This flag indicates that the milter is allowed to change headers of
the current e-mail message.
    <li> <strong>DELETE_RECIPIENTS</strong>:<br>
        This flag indicates that the milter is allowed to remove recipients
from the current e-mail message.
    <li> <strong>QUARANTINE</strong>:<br>
        This flag indicates that the milter is allowed to request sendmail to
quarantine the current e-mail message.
    <li> <strong>ALL_FLAGS</strong>:<br>
        Shortcut to indicate all callback facilities. The <em>Flags</em> values
are bit-flags. The <em>bit_or</em> operator may be used to combine them, and the
<em>bit_not</em> operator may be used to remove a flag from <em>ALL_FLAGS</em>
(e.g., <em>ALL_FLAGS &amp;&amp; ~QUARANTINE</em>).
    </ul>
<p>
<strong>Status</strong><br>
    This enumeration simplifies the extended <em>SMFIS_</em> values used by the
<strong>C</strong> API. These values may be used to return  <em>sfsistat</em> values:
    <ul>
    <li> <strong>ACCEPT</strong>:<br>
        This value is equal to <em>SMFIS_ACCEPT</em>, indicating that Sendmail
should accept the message. For a connection-oriented callback (see below at
<strong>PROTECTED VIRTUAL MEMBER FUNCTIONS</strong>), accept this connection without
further filter processing, call <em>close</em> (see below).  For other callbacks:
accept this message without further filtering.
    <li> <strong>CONTINUE</strong>:<br>
        This value is equal to <em>SMFIS_CONTINUE</em>, indicating that Sendmail
should continue processing. This is the default for all callback functions
which are not overridden by the class derived from <strong>Milter</strong>.
    <li> <strong>DISCARD</strong>:<br>
        This value is equal to <em>SMFIS_DISCARD</em>, indicating that Sendmail
should discard the mail message. It should not be returned by a
connection-oriented callback. For other callbacks: the message is accepted,
but silently discarded.
    <li> <strong>REJECT</strong>:<br>
        This value is equal to <em>SMFIS_REJECT</em>, indicating that Sendmail
should reject the mail message. For a connection-oriented callback, reject
this connection; call <em>close</em>.  For a message-oriented callback (except
for <em>eom</em> or <em>abort, see below</em>), reject this message.  For a
recipient-oriented callback, reject the current recipient (but continue
processing the current message).
    <li> <strong>TEMPFAIL</strong>:<br>
        This value is equal to <em>SMFIS_TEMPFAIL</em>, indicating that Sendmail
should return a `temporary unavailable' message to the sender of the mail
message. For a message-oriented callback (except <em>sender</em>, see below),
fail for this message.  For a connection-oriented callback, fail for this
connection and call <em>close</em>.  For a recipient-oriented callback, only fail
for the current recipient and continue message processing.
    </ul>
<p>
<strong>Return</strong><br>
    This enumeration simplifies the extended <em>MI_</em> values used by the
<strong>C</strong> API. Most return values used by the <strong>Milter</strong> class, however, are
<em>bool</em> values. The <em>Return</em> values are:
    <ul>
    <li> <strong>FAILURE</strong>:<br>
        This value is equal to <em>MI_FAILURE</em>, indicating that a <strong>C</strong>-api
function failed to perform its task.
    <li> <strong>SUCCESS</strong>:<br>
        This value is equal to <em>MI_SUCCESS</em>, indicating that a <strong>C</strong>-api
function succeeded in performing its task.
    </ul>
<p>
<h2>CONSTRUCTORS</h2>
<p>
The default- and copy constructors are available for derived classes. They
perform no actions.
<p>
<h2>PUBLIC STATIC MEMBER FUNCTIONS</h2>
<p>
These functions form the heart of the <strong>Milter</strong> base-class. They can be
called to initialize, start and stop the Milter.
    <ul>
    <li> <strong>void initialize(std::string const &amp;name, 
                Milter &amp;milter,
                callback_set callbacks = CONNECT, 
                flag_set flags = NO_FLAGS)</strong>:<br>
        This function initializes the Milter's administration. It expects the
name of the mailfilter as its first argument. Its second argument is a
reference to a <em>Milter</em> object. Since <strong>Milter</strong> is an abstract base class
the actual object is always an object of a class derived from <strong>Milter</strong>.  Its
third argument specifies the callbacks to call for this milter. By default the
<em>connect</em> callback will be called. Note that the <em>close</em> callback is
not called by default. This is ok, since the <strong>Milter</strong> object doesn't have to
cleanup `private' data, as is normal with the <strong>C</strong> API. The last argument
defines flags, specifying the Milter's capabilities.
    <li> <strong>std::string const &amp;name()</strong>:<br>
        This function returns the milter's name. 
    <li> <strong>bool start()</strong>:<br>
        This member function calls <em>smfi_main</em>, controlling the milter's
event loop. It returns <em>true</em> if the event-loop is successfully terminated. 
    <li> <strong>void stop()</strong>:<br>
        This member function terminates the milter's event loop, after
finishing all threads. Following this call <em>start</em> may be called again to
continue the milter.
    </ul>
<p>
<h2>PROTECTED VIRTUAL MEMBER FUNCTIONS</h2>
<p>
The remaining functionality of the class <em>Milter</em> is useful only for
Milter-implementations in classes derived from <strong>Milter</strong>. The following
members can be overridden by derived classes. Note that <em>clone</em> <em>must</em>
be overridden. Except for <em>clone</em>, all the members in this sections are
<em>callback</em> functions. I.e., the MTA will call them to process parts of the
mail message. Recipient-, message-, and connection-oriented callbacks are
distinguished.  
<p>
The recipient-oriented callback (<em>recipient</em>, see below) may affect
the processing of a single message to a single recipient. Connection-oriented
callbacks (<em>connect, helo</em> and <em>close</em>) affect the processing of the
entire connection (during which multiple messages may be delivered to multiple
sets of recipients). The remaining callbacks are message-oriented, affecting
the processing of a single message to all its recipients.
<p>
<ul>
    <li> <strong>virtual sfsistat abort()</strong>:<br>
        This message-oriented member may be called at any time during message
processing (i.e. between some message-oriented routine and
<em>eom</em>). <em>abort</em> reclaim any resources allocated on a per-message basis
(which are <em>not</em> the connection specific data, which should be handled by
the derived class' destructor), and must be tolerant of being called between
any two message-oriented callbacks. <em>abort</em> is only called if the message
is aborted outside the filter's control and the filter has not completed its
message-oriented processing. For example, if a filter has already returned
<em>ACCEPT, REJECT</em>, or <em>DISCARD</em> from a message-oriented routine,
<em>abort</em> will not be called even if the message is later aborted outside
its control.
    <li> <strong>virtual sfsistat body(unsigned char *text, size_t length)</strong>:<br>
        This message-oriented member is called zero or more times between
<em>eoh</em> and <em>eom</em>.  <em>text</em> points to a sequence of bytes. It is not
necessarily a 0-terminated. Moreover, the sequence may contain 0-characters.
Since message bodies can be very large, defining <em>body</em> can significantly
impact filter performance.  End-of-lines are represented as received from SMTP
(normally CR/LF).  Later filters will see body changes made by earlier ones,
and message bodies may be sent in multiple chunks, with one call to <em>body</em>
per chunk.
<p>
<li> <strong>virtual Milter *clone() const = 0</strong>:<br>
        This pure virtual function must be implemented by derived classes to
return a newly allocated copy of the derived object passed to the
<em>initialize</em> static member. It is used by the standard `virtual
constructor' design pattern. The destruction of the allocated object is the
responsibility of <em>clone</em>'s caller.
<p>
<li> <strong>virtual sfsistat close()</strong>:<br>
        This connection-oriented member is always called once at the end of
each connection.  It may be called "out-of-order", i.e. before even the
<em>connect</em> is called. After a connection is established by the MTA to the
filter, if the MTA decides this connection's traffic will be discarded
(e.g. via an access_db result), no data will be passed to the filter from the
MTA until the client closes down. At that time, <em>close</em> is called. It can
therefore be the only callback ever used for a given connection, and
developers should anticipate this possibility when crafting their <em>close</em>
code. The member <em>close</em> is called on close even if the previous mail
transaction was aborted.
<p>
<li> <strong>virtual sfsistat connect(char *hostname, _SOCK_ADDR *hostaddr)</strong>:<br>
        This connection-oriented member may be called once, at the start of
each SMTP connection. The parameter <em>hostname</em> is he host name of the
message sender, as determined by a reverse lookup on the host address. If the
reverse lookup fails, hostname will contain the message sender's IP address
enclosed in square brackets (e.g. <em>[a.b.c.d]</em>). The parameter <em>hostaddr</em>
is the host address, as determined by a <strong>getpeername</strong>(2) call on the SMTP
socket. It is 0 if the type is not supported in the current version or if the
SMTP connection is made via stdin.
<p>
<li> <strong>virtual sfsistat data()</strong>:<br> 
        Not yet supported. Will be available with libmilter versions beyond 3.
<p>
<li> <strong>virtual sfsistat eoh()</strong>:<br>
        This message-oriented member is called once after all headers have
been processed.
<p>
<li> <strong>virtual sfsistat eom()</strong>:<br>
        This message-oriented member is called once after all calls to
<em>body</em> for a given message have been completed. Note that only in this
function modifications to the message headers, body, and envelope can be made
(see the <em>add-, change-</em> and <em>delete-</em> members listed below).
<p>
<li> <strong>virtual sfsistat header(char *headerf, char *headerv)</strong>:<br>
        This message-oriented member is called zero or more times between
<em>recipient</em> and <em>eoh</em>, once per message header. The <em>headerf</em>
parameter contains the text of the header, the <em>headerv</em> parameter contains
its value. E.g., if an e-mail message contains the following headers:
        <pre>

    From: sender &lt;f@example.com&gt;
    Subject:no
        
</pre>

    then <em>header</em> will be called twice with the following values for,
respectively <em>headerf</em> and <em>headerv</em>:
        <pre>

    First header:   "From",     " sender &lt;f@example.com&gt;"
    Second header:  "Subject",  "no"
        
</pre>

    Further details about header information is given in RFC 882. 
<p>
<li> <strong>virtual sfsistat helo(char *helohost)</strong>:<br>
        This connection-oriented member is called whenever the client sends a
HELO/EHLO command. It may therefore be called between zero and three
times. The <em>helohost</em> parameter should be the domain name of the sending
host (but is, in practice, anything the sending host wants to send).
<p>
<li> <strong>virtual sfsistat recipient(char **argv)</strong>:<br>
        This recipient-oriented member is called once per recipient, hence one
or more times per message, immediately after <em>sender</em>. The parameter
<em>argv</em> is a 0-terminated array of pointers to SMTP command arguments;
argv[0] is guaranteed to be the recipient address. Later arguments are the
ESMTP arguments. TEMPFAIL may be returned indicate that sendmail should return
a temporary failure for this particular recipient; further recipients may
still be sent, <em>abort</em> is not called.  REJECT will reject this particular
recipient; further recipients may still be sent, <em>abort</em> is not called.
DISCARD will accept (but discard) the message, <em>abort</em> will be called.
ACCEPT will accept recipient, <em>abort</em> will not be called. More details on
ESTMP responses, are described in RFC 1869.
<p>
<li> <strong>virtual sfsistat sender(char **argv)</strong>:<br>
        This message-oriented member is called once at the beginning of each
message, before <em>recipient</em>.  argv[0] is guaranteed to be the sender's
envelope address. Later arguments are the ESMTP arguments.  TEMPFAIL may be
returned, indicating that sendmail should return a temporary failure for this
particular message, <em>abort</em> is not called.  REJECT will reject this
message, <em>abort</em> is not called.  DISCARD will accept (but discard) the
message, <em>abort</em> will be called.  ACCEPT will accept recipient,
<em>abort</em> will not be called. More details on ESTMP responses, are described
in RFC 1869.
<p>
<li> <strong>virtual sfsistat unknown(char *ptr)</strong>:<br>
        Not yet supported. Will be available with libmilter versions beyond 2.
    </ul>
<p>
<h2>PROTECTED MEMBER FUNCTIONS</h2>
<p>
The following members are non-virtual. They can be called by members of
classes derived from <strong>Milter</strong>:
    <ul>
    <li> <strong>bool addHeader(std::string const &amp;hdrName, 
                        std::string const &amp;hdrValue)</strong>:<br>
        This member may only be called from <em>eom</em>, and the flag
<em>ADD_HEADERS</em> must have been specified or it will fail.  The <em>hdrName</em> and
<em>hdrValue</em> must be non-empty strings. Each line of the header must be under
2048 characters and should be under 998 characters. If longer headers are
needed, make them multi-line. To make a multi-line header, insert a line feed
(<em>\n</em>) followed by at least one whitespace character such as a space or tab
(<em>\t</em>). The line feed should <em>not</em> be preceded by a carriage return. It is
the filter writer's responsibility to ensure that no standards are violated.
    <li> <strong>bool addRecipient(std::string const &amp;rcptName)</strong>:<br>
        This member may only be called from <em>eom</em>, and the flag
<em>ADD_RECIPIENTS</em> must have been specified or it will fail.
    <li> <strong>bool changeHeader(std::string const &amp;hdrName, 
                        size_t headerNr, std::string const &amp;hdrValue)</strong>:<br>
        This member may only be called from <em>eom</em>, and the flag
<em>CHANGE_HEADERS</em> must have been specified or it will fail. See
<em>addHeader</em> for the header-requirements. The <em>headerNr</em> parameter is a
1-based header index value. A <em>headerNr</em> value of 1 will modify the first
occurrence of a header named <em>hdrValue</em>. If <em>headerNr</em> is greater than the
number of times <em>hdrName</em> appears, a new <em>hdrName</em>-header will be
added. If <em>hdrValue</em> is empty, the header is deleted.
    <li> <strong>bool deleteRecipient(std::string const &amp;rcptName)</strong>:<br>
        This member may only be called from <em>eom</em>, and the flag
<em>DELETE_RECIPIENTS</em> must have been specified or it will fail.
        This member removes the named recipient from the current message's
envelope. 
     <li> <strong>SMFICTX *id() const</strong>:<br>
        This member may be called by the Milter object to obtain a pointer
identifying its sendmail-connection. Normally it should not be necessary to
call this member.
    <li> <strong>bool insertHeader(size_t hdrIdx, std::string const &amp;hdrName, 
                          std::string const &amp;hdrValue)</strong>:<br>
        This member may only be called from <em>eom</em>, and the flag
<em>ADD_HEADERS</em> must have been specified or it will fail. See
<em>addHeader</em> for the header-requirements. The <em>headerNr</em> parameter is a
header index value. A <em>headerNr</em> value of 0 will insert this header as the
first of the <em>hdrName</em> headers. If <em>headerNr</em> is greater than the
number of times <em>hdrName</em> appears, a new <em>hdrName</em>-header will be
added. 
    <li> <strong>bool openSocket(bool removeIfTrue = true)</strong>:<br>
        This member should be called before <em>start</em> is called.
        This member attempts to create the socket specified by
<em>setConnection</em> (see below). This allows the calling application to ensure
that the socket can be created, possibly changing its protection (access
rights) before the milter starts its work.  If this member is not called, it
will be called implicitly when <em>run</em> is started. It returns <em>true</em> if
the socket could be created.
    <li> <strong>bool quarantine(std::string const &amp;reason)</strong>:<br>
         This member may only be called from <em>eom</em> and causes the MTA to
quarantines the message using the given reason.
    <li> <strong>bool replaceBody(std::string const &amp;body)</strong>:<br>
        This member may only be called from <em>eom</em>, and the flag
<em>CHANGE_BODY</em> must have been specified or it will fail. It may be called
multiple times in which case the various body contents are concatenated in the
final message. Newlines should be coded as CRLF.
    <li> <strong>bool setBacklog(size_t backlog = 5)</strong>:<br>
        This member should be called before <em>start</em> is called.
        Sets the incoming socket backlog used by <strong>listen</strong>(2).  If
<em>setBacklog</em> is not called, the operating system default is used. The
function returns <em>false</em> if the backlog could not be set as requested.  It
is the responsibility of the programmer not to call this function with a 0
argument.
    <li> <strong>bool setConnection(std::string const &amp;name)</strong>:<br>
        This member should be called before <em>start</em> is called.
        Sets the socket through which the filter communicates with sendmail. 
The socket may be specified using one of the following variants:<br>
    <em>{unix|local}:/path/to/file</em> - A named pipe;<br>
    <em>net:port@{hostname|ip-address}</em> - An IPV4 socket;<br>
    <em>inet6:port@{hostname|ip-address}</em> - An IPV6 socket.<br>
<p>
If possible, filters should not run as root when communicating over
unix/local domain sockets.  
<p>
Unix/local sockets should have their permissions set to 0600 (read/write
permission only for the socket's owner) or 0660 (read/write permission for the
socket's owner and group) which is useful if the sendmail RunAsUser option is
used. The permissions for a unix/local domain socket are determined as usual
by umask, which should be set to 007 or 077.
<p>
Possible failure of this function cannot be determined from its return
value. Rather, <em>run</em> will fail.
    <li> <strong>setReply(std::string const &amp;rcode, std::string const &amp;xcode = "",
                      std::string const &amp;msg = "")</strong>:<br>
        This member sets the default SMTP error reply code.  It may be called
from any callback member, except <em>connect</em>. The parameter <em>rcode</em> should
be a he three-digit (RFC 821/2821) SMTP reply code and it must be a valid 4XX
or 5XX reply code. The parameter <em>xcode</em>, when specified, must be a extended
(RFC 1893/2034) reply code. The parameter <em>msg</em> may be an additional textual
message. The <strong>Milter</strong> class has no member comparable to the libmilter API
function <em>smfi_setmlreply</em>.  the <strong>Milter</strong> class.
    <li> <strong>void setTimeout(size_t seconds = 7210)</strong>:<br>
        This member should be called before <em>start</em> is called.
        Sets the number of seconds libmilter will wait for an MTA connection
before timing out a socket. If <em>setTimeout</em> is not called, a default
timeout of 7210 seconds is used. It is the responsibility of the programmer
not to call this function with an argument equal to  0.
    <li> <strong>char const *symval(std::string const &amp;name) const</strong>:<br>
        This member returns the value of a specific sendmail macro. The
<em>name</em> parameter should be set to he name of a sendmail macro . Single letter
macros can optionally be enclosed in braces (<em>{</em> and <em>}</em>), longer macro
names must be enclosed in braces, just as in a sendmail.cf file.0 is returned
if the macro is not defined.  By default, the following macros are valid in
the given contexts:<br>
    for <em>connect</em>: <em>daemon_name, if_name, if_addr, j, _</em>;<br>
    for <em>helo</em>: <em>tls_version, cipher, cipher_bits, cert_subject,
cert_issuer</em>;<br>
    for <em>sender</em>: <em>i, auth_type, auth_authen, auth_ssf, auth_author,
mail_mailer, mail_host, mail_addr</em>;<br>
    for <em>recipient</em>: <em>rcpt_mailer, rcpt_host, rcpt_addr</em>.<br>
    All macros stay in effect from the point they are received until the end
of the connection for the first two sets, the end of the message for the third
(<em>sender</em>), and just for each recipient for the final set
(<em>recipient</em>).<br>
    The following macros may be specified in the sendmail.mc configuration
file:<br>
    <em>define(`confMILTER_MACROS_CONNECT', `m1', ...)</em>,
<em>define(`confMILTER_MACROS_HELO', ...)</em>,
<em>define(`confMILTER_MACROS_ENVFROM', ...)</em>,
<em>define(`confMILTER_MACROS_ENVRCPT', ...)</em>, where <em>`m1', ...</em> represents a
comma separated list of returnable macros.  Single letter macros can
optionally be enclosed in braces (<em>{</em> and <em>}</em>), longer macro names must be
enclosed in braces.
    <li> <strong>bool wait()</strong>:<br>
        This member may only be called from <em>eom</em> and tells the MTA that
the filter is still working on a message, causing the MTA to re-start its
timeouts.
