Hello all,
Thanks for all the responses. They, of course, help out a lot! As
David predicted, after submitting a MAIL FROM: command with an address, I
got a 554 5.7.1 error telling me to leave (Excellent...). However, I was
still connected. Am I wron to think that the connection should be closed?
I did read the man for mimedefang-filter(5) and thought that's what would
happen. Did I misread?
Many thanks,
Stefano

filter_relay doesn't actually get called until you do a MAIL FROM: Make
sure you're not telnetting in from an allowed address, and try going
through the entire SMTP conversation. It should stop after MAIL FROM:
(You can't call filter_relay with the HELO info from mfconnect, because you
don't have a HELO yet. And you shouldn't call filter_relay from the "helo"
callback, because some Sendmail sites will accept mail even without an
initial HELO.)
Regards,
David.
