I use it and it works well for my specific use case - a Postfix spam
filter. During incoming SMTP transactions, I have Postfix configured to
pass the received message to my daemon via SMTP (smtpd_proxy_filter). My
daemon pronounces judgement, allowing Postfix to potentially reject the
message while the sender is still connected (so no bounce backscatter). My
daemon only receives one connection at a time, and only well formed SMTP
from postfix, so the smtpd module works well - no need for a 3rd party
module or the hassle of async.
