77<TH>NOTES</TH>
78<TD>
79<UL>
80<LI>Values passed to smfi_setreply are not checked for standards compliance.
81<LI>The message parameter should contain only printable characters,
82other characters may lead to undefined behavior.
83For example, CR or LF will cause the call to fail,
84single '%' characters will cause the text to be ignored
85(if there really should be a '%' in the string,
86use '%%' just like for <TT>printf(3)</TT>).
87<LI>For details about reply codes and their meanings, please see RFC's
88<A href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc821.txt">821</A>/
89<A href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt">2821</A>
90and
91<A href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1893.txt">1893</A>/
92<A href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2034.txt">2034</A>.
93<LI>If the reply code (rcode) given is a '4XX' code but SMFI_REJECT is used
94for the message, the custom reply is not used.
95<LI>Similarly, if the reply code (rcode) given is a '5XX' code but
96SMFI_TEMPFAIL is used for the message, the custom reply is not used.
97<BR>
98Note: in neither of the last two cases an error is returned to the milter,
99libmilter silently ignores the reply code.
100<LI>If the milter returns SMFI_TEMPFAIL and sets the reply code to '421',
101then the SMTP server will terminate the SMTP session with a 421 error code.
