58<LI>bodyp points to a sequence of bytes.
59It is <EM>not</EM> a C string (a sequence of characters that is terminated by '\0').
60Therefore, do not use the usual C string functions like <CODE>strlen(3)</CODE>
61on this byte block.
62Moreover, the byte sequence may contain '\0' characters inside the block.
63Hence even if a trailing '\0' is added, C string functions may still fail
64to work as expected.
65<LI>Since message bodies can be very large, defining xxfi_body can
66significantly impact filter performance.
67<LI>End-of-lines are represented as received from SMTP (normally CRLF).
68<LI>Later filters will see body changes made by earlier ones.
69<LI>Message bodies may be sent in multiple chunks, with one call to
70    xxfi_body per chunk.
71<LI>Return
72<A HREF="api.html#SMFIS_SKIP">SMFIS_SKIP</A>
73if a milter has received sufficiently many
74body chunks to make a decision,
75but still wants to invoke
76message modification functions that are only allowed to be called from
77<A HREF="xxfi_eom.html">xxfi_eom()</A>.
78Note: the milter <EM>must</EM>

81the protocol action
82<A HREF="xxfi_negotiate.html#SMFIP_SKIP"><CODE>SMFIP_SKIP</CODE></A>
83is available and if so, the milter must request it.
