=head1 qpsmtpd plugin system; developer documentation

mailinglist; subscribe by sending mail to qpsmtpd-subscribe@perl.org.
=head1 General return codes
Each plugin must return an allowed constant for the hook and (usually)
optionally a "message".
Generally all plugins for a hook are processed until one returns
something other than "DECLINED".
Plugins are run in the order they are listed in the "plugins"
configuration.
=over 4
=item OK
Action allowed
=item DENY
Action denied
=item DENYSOFT
Action denied; return a temporary rejection code (say 450 instead of 550).
=item DECLINED
Plugin declined work; proceed as usual. This return code is _always_
_allowed_ unless noted otherwise.
=item DONE
Finishing processing of the request. Usually used when the plugin
sent the response to the client.
=back
See more detailed description for each hook below.
=head1 Hooks
=head2 mail
Called right after the envelope sender address is passed. The plugin
gets passed a Mail::Address object. Default is to allow the
recipient.
Allowed return codes
OK - sender allowed
DENY - Return a hard failure code
DENYSOFT - Return a soft failure code
DONE - skip further processing
=head2 rcpt
Hook for the "rcpt" command. Defaults to deny the mail with a soft
error code.
Allowed return codes
OK - recipient allowed
DENY - Return a hard failure code
DENYSOFT - Return a soft failure code
DONE - skip further processing
=head2 data_post
Hook after receiving all data; just before the message is queued.
DENY - Return a hard failure code
DENYSOFT - Return a soft failure code
DONE - skip further processing (message will not be queued)
All other codes and the message will be queued normally
=head2 queue
Called on completion of the DATA command.
DONE - skip further processing (plugin gave response code)
OK - Return success message
DENY - Return hard failure code
DENYSOFT - Return soft failure code
Any other code will return a soft failure code.
=head2 connect
Allowed return codes:
OK - Stop processing plugins, give the default response
DECLINED - Process the next plugin
DONE - Stop processing plugins and don't give the default response
=head2 quit
Called on the "quit" command.
Allowed return codes:
DONE
Works like the "connect" hook.
=head2 disconnect
Called just before we shutdown a connection.
The return code is ignored. If a plugin returns anything but DECLINED
the following plugins will not be run (like with all other hooks).
