RTFM https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3207#section-4.2
The STARTTLS specification says that the server MUST DISCARD any
information that is has received from the client that was not
obtained from the TLS negotiation itself. I quote from RFC 3207
section 4.2:
the SMTP protocol is reset to the initial state (the state in
SMTP after a server issues a 220 service ready greeting)
The order of events is:
- Postfix server accepts connection from remote SMTP client
- Postfix server sends SMFIC_CONNECT + macros to the Milter(s)
[ The following assumes that the Milter did not reject the
connection ]
- Postfix server sends the 220 server ready greeting
[ Here is the state that the MTA and Milter(s) must reset to,
after a successful STARTTLS handshake. i.e. the state before
the first SMTP client command ]
- Remote SMTP client sends a command, or disconnects
After completing STARTTLS:
- the Postfix SMTP server MUST reset to the state after sending the
220 service ready greeting.
- This implies that Postfix MUST send SMFIC_ABORT to the Milters,
so that they will reset to the state before SMFIC_HELO, not the
state before SMFIC_CONNECT, as described in milter-protocol.txt.
See also "The order of events" above.
If your Milter forgets the SMFIC_CONNECT info, i.e., it resets to
the state before SMFIC_CONNECT, then your Milter needs to be fixed.
