Sendmail::PMilter is a mail filtering API implementing the Sendmail milter protocol in pure Perl. This allows Sendmail servers (and perhaps other MTAs implementing milter) to filter and modify mail in transit during the SMTP connection, all in Perl. It should be noted that PMilter 0.90 and later is NOT compatible with scripts written for PMilter 0.5 and earlier. The API has been reworked significantly, and the enhanced APIs and rule logic provided by PMilter 0.5 and earlier has been factored out for inclusion in a separate package to be called Mail::Milter. So, in short, this package should be regarded as a drop-in replacement for Sendmail::Milter, with only some very minor API extensions related to the milter protocol itself. (Sendmail::PMilter includes a wrapper module named Sendmail::Milter to allow old milter scripts to continue working as-is with this package.)
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
