The filter is connected to smtpd through its stdin, so it can terminate when there's an EOF on stdin. This is the proper way to do it and how all filters I wrote work but maybe a bug has crawled in the handling of filter termination and it went unnoticed, I don´t think I ever terminated smtpd in years besides system restarts. What system are you running on ?
