Please can it also fix the problem with (for example) Sourceforge
probes which send an RSET between RCPT to the sender and doing a
postmaster check? SPF-milter 1.3 complains that it needs a HELO, but
the sendmail Privacy options requiring HELO do not complain when the
milter is not running. RFC2821 4.1.1.5 states that issuing an RSET is
more efficient than resending the EHLO, so (as I read the RFC and by
existing sendmail behaviour) the milter should not be complaining that
it needs another HELO after an RSET has been sent.
Are you sure this is spf-milter? Are you running any other milters? This
problem is supposed to have been fixed in version 1.30 and in fact it *did*
fix it for me as I was having a similar problem with a callback scheme at a UK
university.
spf-milter 1.30 has an abort_callback procedure that handles RSET. The example
milter supplied with Sendmail::Milter, upon which many milters are built, does
not have this procedure and may result in problems with callbacks such as you
are experiencing.
