NAME

       Sendmail::Milter - compatibility interface for Sendmail::PMilter

SYNOPSIS

	   use Sendmail::Milter;

	   Sendmail::Milter::auto_setconn(NAME);
	   Sendmail::Milter::register(NAME, { CALLBACKS }, FLAGS);
	   Sendmail::Milter::main();

DESCRIPTION

       This is a compatibility interface which emulates the "standard" Sendmail::Milter API.

FUNCTIONS

       The following functions are available in this module.  Unlike "Sendmail::PMilter", this interface involves a single, global instance of
       milter data, so these functions are called without an object reference.

       For each function, see the description of its object-based counterpart in Sendmail::PMilter.

       Sendmail::Milter::auto_getconn(NAME[, CONFIG])
       Sendmail::Milter::auto_setconn(NAME[, CONFIG])
       Sendmail::Milter::main([MAXCHILDREN[, MAXREQ]])
       Sendmail::Milter::register(NAME, CALLBACKS[, FLAGS])
       Sendmail::Milter::setconn(DESC)

       One extension function is provided by this implementation.

       Sendmail::Milter::get_milter()
	   Returns the "Sendmail::PMilter" instance underlying this emulation layer.  This allows mostly-unmodified milter scripts to set PMilter
	   extensions (such as dispatcher and sendmail.cf values).  It is recommended, however, that new code use the object instance methods
	   described in Sendmail::PMilter.

EXPORTS

       In order to preserve compatibility with the standard "Sendmail::Milter" interface, all SMFI* constants described in Sendmail::PMilter are
       exported into the caller's namespace by default.

       (Note that "Sendmail::PMilter" itself does not export these symbols by default.)
