Ann: Milter API

Ann: Milter API

[Björn Persson]

I needed to write a milter to expel the spammers from my mailbox, and
naturally I wanted to write it in Ada. I couldn't find a binding to
Libmilter so I made one. I present the first public version of the Ada
Milter API:

http://www.rombobj�rn.se/Milter_API

The binding is in a "works for me" state. It's written to match the version
of Libmilter that comes with Sendmail 8.13.8, because that's what I
currently have on my server. It provides almost all of the features in that
version of Libmilter, but a few pieces are missing because I don't use them
and they weren't trivial to implement. Later versions of Libmilter also
have new features that the binding doesn't support yet.

I use Milter API with Postfix 2.3.8 and it's working great, but functions
that I don't use are pretty much untested. I haven't even tried it with
Sendmail, because I use Postfix.

There is also a binding to the syslog functions, which Milter API uses:

Thanks in part to Milter API, I no longer need to obfuscate my email
address.

Those links appear to be broken -- they're not working for me, anyway.

Then your browser doesn't support international URLs. Use these:

http://www.xn--rombobjrn-67a.se/System_Log

Thanks, they work. My browser is the current version of Firefox, by the 
way, so pretty mainstream.

You seem to have been bitten by the same bug as my mom, who also uses
Thunderbird and Firefox. She told me that if she clicks on a URL in
Thunderbird it gets mangled, but if she copies it and pastes it into
Firefox, then it works.

Google Groups mangles the URL (the blued link only goes as far as the
o-umlaut) but if I copy the whole URL and paste into Safari it's fine.

I'm not reading via Google Groups, and the blued link goes all the way 
to the end for me. But I am reading on Thunderbird, so the 
Thunderbird/Firefox bug is a likely contender.
