sendmail, 4th Edition

Milter xxfi_eom()

Process a header All Milter versions

The SMTP DATA phase of a message ends when the connecting client sends a dot on a line by itself. During that SMTP DATA phase, zero or more headers may have been sent, followed by a blank line and then the message body (possibly empty). After sendmail receives the final dot, but before sendmail replies to the final dot, this xxfi_eom() function, if used, is called.

The xxfi_eom() function is called like this:

sfsistat
xxfi_eom(SMFICTX *ctx)

Here, ctx is the context pointer passed to all xxfi_ functions to maintain state in a multithreaded environment. That is the only argument passed.

The xxfi_eom() function is special in that it is allowed to do many things that other xxfi_ functions are not allowed to do. Table 26-16 lists the smfi_ routines that only xxfi_eom() may call.
