73<TH valign="top" align=left>EXAMPLE</TH>

75For example, the code:<BR>

97<UL>
98    <LI>The rcode or xcode argument is invalid.
99    <LI>A memory-allocation failure occurs.

110<TH>NOTES</TH>
111<TD>
112<UL>
113<LI>Values passed to smfi_setmlreply are not checked for standards compliance.
114<LI>The message parameter should contain only printable characters,
115other characters may lead to undefined behavior.
116For example, CR or LF will cause the call to fail,
117single '%' characters will cause the text to be ignored
118(if there really should be a '%' in the string,
119use '%%' just like for <TT>printf(3)</TT>).
120<LI>For details about reply codes and their meanings, please see RFC's
121<A href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc821.txt">821</A>/
122<A href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt">2821</A>
123and
124<A href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1893.txt">1893</A>/
125<A href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2034.txt">2034</A>.
126<LI>If the reply code (rcode) given is a '4XX' code but SMFI_REJECT is used
127for the message, the custom reply is not used.
128<LI>Similarly, if the reply code (rcode) given is a '5XX' code but
129SMFI_TEMPFAIL is used for the message, the custom reply is not used.
130<BR>
131Note: in neither of the last two cases an error is returned to the milter,
132libmilter silently ignores the reply code.
133<LI>If the milter returns SMFI_TEMPFAIL and sets the reply code to '421',
134then the SMTP server will terminate the SMTP session with a 421 error code.
