</ul>

<h2><a name="compile">Compiling and Installing Your Filter</A></h2>

To compile a filter, modify the Makefile provided with the sample program, or:
<ul>
    <li>Put the include and Sendmail directories in your include path
    (e.g. -I/path/to/include -I/path/to/sendmail).  

    <li>Make sure libmilter.so is in your library path, and link your
    application with it (e.g. "-lmilter").

    <li>Compile with pthreads, either by using -pthread for gcc, or
    linking with a pthreads support library (-lpthread).
</ul>
Your compile command line will look like
<pre>
cc -I/path/to/include -I/path/to/sendmail -c myfile.c
</pre>
and your linking command line will look something like
<pre>
cc -o myfilter [object-files] -L[library-location] -lmilter -pthread
</pre>

<p>
To run the filter, the Milter shared library must be available to the
run-time linker.

<H2><a name="config">Configuring Sendmail</A></H2>

First, you must compile sendmail versions before 8.12 with _FFR_MILTER
defined.  To do this, add the following lines to your build
configuration file (devtools/Site/config.site.m4)
<pre>
APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-D_FFR_MILTER=1')
APPENDDEF(`conf_libmilter_ENVDEF', `-D_FFR_MILTER=1') 
</pre>

then type <code>./Build -c</code> in your sendmail directory.

<P>
Next, you must add the desired filters to your sendmail configuration
(.mc) file.  With versions before 8.12, the file must then be
processed with _FFR_MILTER defined.  Mail filters have three equates:
The required <code>S=</code> equate specifies the socket where
sendmail should look for the filter; The optional <code>F=</code> and
<code>T=</code> equates specify flags and timeouts, respectively.  All
equates names, equate field names, and flag values are case sensitive.

<P>
The current flags (<code>F=</code>) are:
<p>
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding=4 border=1>
<tr bgcolor="#dddddd" align=left valign=top>
<th>Flag</TH>   <th align="center">Meaning</TH>
</TR>
<tr align="left" valign=top>
<TD>R</TD>      <TD>Reject connection if filter unavailable</TD>
</TR>
<tr align="left" valign=top>
<TD>T</TD>      <TD>Temporary fail connection if filter unavailable</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

If a filter is unavailable or unresponsive and no flags have been
specified, the MTA will continue normal handling of the current
connection.  The MTA will try to contact the filter again on each new
connection.

<P>
There are three fields inside of the <code>T=</code> equate: S, R, and
E.  Note the separator between each is a ";" (semicolon), as ","
(comma) already separates equates.  The value of each field is a
decimal number followed by a single letter designating the units ("s"
for seconds, "m" for minutes).  The fields have the following
meanings:
<p>
<TABLE cellspacing="1" cellpadding=4 border=1>
<TR bgcolor="#dddddd" align=left valign=top>
<TH>Flag</TH>   <TH align="center">Meaning</TH>
</TR>
<TR align="left" valign=top>
<TD>C</TD>      <TD>Timeout for connecting to a filter.  If set to 0, the
		system's <CODE>connect()</CODE> timeout will be used.
		Default: 5m</TD>
</TR>
<TR align="left" valign=top>
<TD>S</TD>      <TD>Timeout for sending information from the MTA to a
                filter.  Default: 10s</TD>
</TR>
<TR align="left" valign=top>
<TD>R</TD>      <TD>Timeout for reading reply from the filter.  Default: 10s</TD>
</TR>
<TR align="left" valign=top>
<TD>E</TD>      <TD>Overall timeout between sending end-of-message to
                filter and waiting for the final acknowledgment.  Default: 5m</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

<p>
The following sendmail.mc example specifies three filters.  The first
two rendezvous on Unix-domain sockets in the /var/run directory; the
third uses an IP socket on port 999.
<pre>
	INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`filter1', `S=unix:/var/run/f1.sock, F=R')
	INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`filter2', `S=unix:/var/run/f2.sock, F=T, T=S:1s;R:1s;E:5m')
	INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`filter3', `S=inet:999@localhost, T=C:2m')

	define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `filter2,filter1,filter3')
<hr width="30%">
	m4 <b>-D_FFR_MILTER</b> ../m4/cf.m4 myconfig.mc &gt; myconfig.cf
</pre>
By default, the filters would be run in the order declared,
i.e. "filter1, filter2, filter3"; however, since
<code>confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS</code> is defined, the filters will be
run "filter2, filter1, filter3".  Also note that a filter can be
defined without adding it to the input filter list by using
MAIL_FILTER() instead of INPUT_MAIL_FILTER().

<p>
The above macros will result in the following lines being added to
your .cf file:
<PRE>
        Xfilter1, S=unix:/var/run/f1.sock, F=R
        Xfilter2, S=unix:/var/run/f2.sock, F=T, T=S:1s;R:1s;E:5m
        Xfilter3, S=inet:999@localhost, T=C:2m

        O InputMailFilters=filter2,filter1,filter3
</PRE>
<p>
Finally, the sendmail macros accessible via <a
href="smfi_getsymval.html">smfi_getsymval</a> can be configured by
defining the following m4 variables (or cf options):
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding=4 border=1>
<tr bgcolor="#dddddd" align=left valign=top>
<th align="center">In .mc file</th>   <th align="center">In .cf file</TH>
<th align="center">Default Value</th>
</tr>
<tr><td>confMILTER_MACROS_CONNECT</td><td>Milter.macros.connect</td>
<td><code>j, _, {daemon_name}, {if_name}, {if_addr}</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>confMILTER_MACROS_HELO</td><td>Milter.macros.helo</td>
<td><code>{tls_version}, {cipher}, {cipher_bits}, {cert_subject},
{cert_issuer}</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>confMILTER_MACROS_ENVFROM</td><td>Milter.macros.envfrom</td>
<td><code>i, {auth_type}, {auth_authen}, {auth_ssf}, {auth_author},
{mail_mailer}, {mail_host}, {mail_addr}</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>confMILTER_MACROS_ENVRCPT</td><td>Milter.macros.envrcpt</td>
<td><code>{rcpt_mailer}, {rcpt_host}, {rcpt_addr}</code></td></tr>
</table>

consult the sendmail documentation.
