milter

The milter library provides Rust bindings to libmilter, the sendmail mail filter API.

This library serves the creation of milters: mail filtering applications that can be integrated with mail servers such as [Postfix].

WORK IN PROGRESS – not yet released, feedback on API welcome

Requirements

This crate requires the milter C library (libmilter) to be available.

On Debian and Ubuntu, install the package libmilter-dev.

If your distribution does not provide pkg-config metadata for libmilter, try using the provided milter.pc file when executing the build:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=. cargo build

The integration tests of this crate use the third-party miltertest utility to exercise the test milters. This program can be found among the OpenDKIM command-line tools.

On Debian and Ubuntu, install either the miltertest or the opendkim-tools package (only required when working on the milter crate itself).

Usage

Include [libc] in addition to milter in Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] milter = "0.1" libc = "0.2"

Here’s a simple milter application that logs client IP addresses:

```rust use milter::{on_connect, Context, Milter, Status}; use std::net::SocketAddr;

[onconnect(connectcallback)]

fn handleconnect( _: Context<()>, _: &str, socketaddr: Option, ) -> Status { if let Some(socketaddr) = socketaddr { println!("Connect from {}", socket_addr.ip()); }

Status::Continue

}

fn main() { Milter::new("unix:/run/ipmilter.sock") .name("IPMilter") .onconnect(connectcallback) .run() .expect("milter execution failed"); } ```

Refer to the [API documentation] for complete usage instructions.
