smfi_insheader

smfi_insheader(3N)														smfi_insheader(3N)

NAME

       smfi_insheader() - prepends a header to the current sendmail message

SYNOPSIS

PARAMETERS

       ctx	 Specifies the opaque context structure.

       hdridx	 Specifies  the  location in the internal header list where the header must be inserted.  A value of 0 (zero) places the header in
		 the beginning of the header.

       headerf	 Specifies the header name, which is a non-NULL, null-terminated string.

       headerv	 Specifies the header value to be added.  A header value is a non-NULL, null-terminated string and can be an empty string.

DESCRIPTION

       prepends a header to the current message.  can be called only from the function.

   Notes
       o  does not change existing headers of a message.  To change the current value of a header, use the routine.

       o  A filter that calls must set the flag in the structure passed to the routine.

       o  For the filter, the order in which filters are placed is imporant.  Filters placed later  in	the  sequence  will  observe  the  changes
	  already done by the earlier filters.

       o  If the value of hdridx larger than the number of headers in the message, the header is simply be appended.

       o  The  name  and  the  value  of the header are not checked for standards compliance.  However, each line of the header must be under 2048
	  characters.  If longer headers are needed, multi-line header must be used.  To make a multi-line header, insert a linefeed (ASCII  0x0a,
	  or  
 in C) followed by at least one whitespace character, such as, a space (ASCII 0x20) or tab (ASCII 0x09, or 	 in C).  The linefeed
	  must not be preceded by a carriage return (ASCII 0x0d); the MTA adds this automatically.  It is the responsibility of the filter  writer
	  to ensure that standards are not violated.

RETURN VALUE

       returns due to the following reasons:

       o  The headerf or headerv value is NULL.
       o  Adding headers in the current connection state is invalid.
       o  Memory allocation fails.
       o  Network error occurs.
       o  is not set when is called.

       returns on success.
