TL;DR: yeeeees, filters are coming. don't believe us ? here's an example. be patient. On my death bed # On my death bed, when my life flashes before my eyes and I start recalling what people have told me during my (hopefully long) lifetime, these sentences will single out:

EHLO, This is the third post of a series about OpenSMTPD improvements that have taken place since this summer. Content altering # For a long time, we have developed OpenSMTPD with a strict rule that the daemon should not alter DATA (as in the DATA SMTP phase) in any way.

Why we killed the MFA (filter) process # For as long as I can remember, a process called MFA was created by OpenSMTPD at start time.

EHLO world ! # Yesterday I thought I’d write a first OpenSMTPD-related post to sum up the changes that have happened since this summer but it turned out to be painful as they amount to quite a lot. Instead, I think a better strategy is to split this into a serie of smaller posts focused on the specific changes ;-)

Good news everyone ! With last post dating from almost a year, we can all agree that I’ve outpassed my slacking skills by a great margin and I probably deserve an award of some kind ;-)

Hey, No OpenSMTPD news since almost a month… time to break the trend ! As far as I’m concerned, I’ve been busy with other work but still a git log shows that between Eric and I we have accumulated quite a few things during this month. Below is a short non-exhaustive summary of changes and news.

EHLO readers, This blog post is the first since a few months, I’ve been busy and struggling with some personal health and familial issues. I won’t share them here as its not really something anyone can help with, so… let’s focus on OpenSMTPD !

Yop, This week has been very productive with several tickets closed and more about to be closed. Eric has done an amazing work as you will soon realize ;-)

OHAI, I have not updated this blog since the release of OpenSMTPD 5.3, over a month ago. In the meantime, some minor bugs have been fixed and we have released OpenSMTPD 5.3.1.

OHAI ! I’ve stayed silent for the last month as we got ready for the big thing… Charles, Eric and I are proud to announce the release of OpenSMTPD 5.3, our first official production-ready release !
