I use filter_tick on very small servers to keep a database connection alive (<200 messages per day, and overnight 3-4 hours can pass without a message), but if it wasn't there then I'd code filter_begin to check on the state and reconnect if necessary, or make a new connection every time. Best

I used to use filter_tick to basically do keep-alives on the tcp connection from the milter to a database or ldap server. This, I hoped, would solve the problem of the remote server silently closing the connection down because of inactivity. I found that it was more appropriate to instead -
