Hi list,
I've been a happy opensmtpd user on netbsd for many years.
I've now upgraded to version 6.6.1p1 and wrote a dnsbl filter in python3
using asyncio that talks to zen.spamhaus.org. I've included the source
code at the bottom of this message.
This is my first time using asyncio.
I know that the filter feature of 6.6.1 is not (completely) documented and
is bound to change so I used the github smtpd-filters.7 man page for
reference and little bit of debugging to figure it out.
I implemented this as a 'register|filter|smtp-in|connect' filter.
The strangest thing was that I had to swap parts 5 and 6 of a filter line
(the unique session identifier and the opaque token) when returning them
with a filter-result line. Other than that, this new filter interface is
super nice and readable and a pleasure to use.
Thank you for making it happen !
Andi..
