A thin OO wrapper for the milter module.
Clients generally subclass Milter.Base and define callback methods.
def Milter.close_callback | ( | ctx | ) |
Disconnect milterContext and call close method.
def Milter.connect_callback | ( | ctx, | ||
hostname, | ||||
family, | ||||
hostaddr, | ||||
nr_mask = P_NR_CONN | ||||
) |
Connect context if needed and invoke connect method.
def Milter.dictfromlist | ( | args | ) |
Convert ESMTP parameters with values to a keyword dictionary.
def Milter.enable_protocols | ( | klass, | ||
mask | ||||
) |
Class decorator to enable optional protocol steps.
P_SKIP is enabled by default when supported, but applications may wish to enable P_HDR_LEADSPC to send and receive the leading space of header continuation lines unchanged, and/or P_RCPT_REJ to have recipients detected as invalid by the MTA passed to the envcrpt callback.
Applications may want to check whether the protocol is actually supported by the MTA in use. Base._protocol is a bitmask of protocol options negotiated. So, for instance, if self._protocol & Milter.P_RCPT_REJ
is true, then that feature was successfully negotiated with the MTA and the application will see recipients the MTA has flagged as invalid.
Sample use:
class myMilter(Milter.Base): def envrcpt(self,to,*params): return Milter.CONTINUE myMilter = Milter.enable_protocols(myMilter,Milter.P_RCPT_REJ)
klass | the milter application class to modify | |
mask | a bitmask of protocol steps to enable |
def Milter.envcallback | ( | c, | ||
args | ||||
) |
Call function c with ESMTP parms converted to keyword parameters. Can be used in the envfrom and/or envrcpt callbacks to process ESMTP parameters as python keyword parameters.
def Milter.header_leading_space | ( | klass | ) |
Milter leading space on headers.
A class decorator that calls enable_protocols() with the P_HDR_LEADSPC flag. By default, header continuation lines are collected and joined before getting sent to a milter. Headers modified or added by the milter are folded by the MTA as necessary according to its own standards. With this flag, header continuation lines are preserved with their newlines and leading space. In addition, header folding done by the milter is preserved as well. Use like this with python-2.6 and later:
@Milter.header_leading_space class myMilter(Milter.Base): def header(self,hname,value): return Milter.CONTINUE
klass | the milter application class to modify |
def Milter.negotiate_callback | ( | ctx, | ||
opts | ||||
) |
Connect context to connection instance and return enabled callbacks.
def Milter.nocallback | ( | func | ) |
Function decorator to disable callback methods.
If the MTA supports it, tells the MTA not to invoke this callback, increasing efficiency. All the callbacks (except negotiate) are disabled in Milter.Base, and overriding them reenables the callback. An application may need to use @nocallback when it extends another milter and wants to disable a callback again. The disabled method should still return Milter.CONTINUE, in case the MTA does not support protocol negotiation, and for when called from a test harness.
def Milter.noreply | ( | func | ) |
Function decorator to disable callback reply.
If the MTA supports it, tells the MTA not to wait for a reply from this callback, and assume CONTINUE. The method should still return CONTINUE in case the MTA does not support protocol negotiation. The decorator arranges to change the return code to NOREPLY when supported by the MTA.
def Milter.param2dict | ( | str | ) |
Convert ESMTP parm list to keyword dictionary.
Params with no value are set to None in the dictionary.
str | list of param strings of the form "NAME" or "NAME=VALUE" |
def Milter.rejected_recipients | ( | klass | ) |
Milter rejected recipients.
A class decorator that calls enable_protocols() with the P_RCPT_REJ flag. By default, the MTA does not pass recipients that it knows are invalid on to the milter. This decorator enables a milter app to see all recipients if supported by the MTA. Use like this with python-2.6 and later:
@Milter.rejected_recipients class myMilter(Milter.Base): def envrcpt(self,to,*params): return Milter.CONTINUE
klass | the milter application class to modify |
def Milter.runmilter | ( | name, | ||
socketname, | ||||
timeout = 0 , |
||||
rmsock = True | ||||
) |
Run the milter.
name | the name of the milter known to the MTA | |
socketname | the socket to be passed to milter.setconn() | |
timeout | the time in secs the MTA should wait for a response before considering this milter dead |
def Milter.uniqueID | ( | ) |
Return a unique sequence number (incremented on each call).
The milter connection factory This factory method is called for each connection to create the python object that tracks the connection.
It should return an object derived from Milter.Base.
Note that since python is dynamic, this variable can be changed while the milter is running: for instance, to a new subclass based on a change in configuration.
