79If a milter just wants to inspect the available protocol steps
80and actions, then it can return
81SMFIS_ALL_OPTS
82and the MTA will make all protocol steps and actions available
83to the milter.
84In this case, no values should be assigned to the output parameters
85<CODE>pf0</CODE> - <CODE>pf3</CODE>
86as they will be ignored.

106<!----------- Notes ---------->
107<TR>
108<TH valign="top" align=left>NOTES</TH>
109<TD>This function allows a milter to dynamically determine and
110request operations and actions during startup.
111In previous versions, the actions (f0) were fixed in the
112<A HREF="smfi_register.html#flags">flags</A> field of the
113<A HREF="smfi_register.html#smfiDesc">smfiDesc</A>
114structure
115and the protocol steps (f1) were implicitly derived by checking whether
116a callback was defined.
117Due to the extensions in the new milter version,
118such a static selection will not work if a milter requires
119new actions that are not available when talking to an older MTA.
120Hence in the negotiation callback a milter can determine
121which operations are available and dynamically select
122those which it needs and which are offered.
123If some operations are not available, the milter may either fall back
124to an older mode or abort the session and ask the user to upgrade.

139By setting this bit, a milter can request that the
140MTA should also send <CODE>RCPT</CODE> commands that have been rejected
141because the user is unknown (or similar reasons), but not those
142which have been rejected because of syntax errors etc.
143If a milter requests this protocol step,
144then it should check the macro
145<CODE>{rcpt_mailer}</CODE>:
146if that is set to
147<CODE>error</CODE>,
148then the recipient will be rejected by the MTA.
149Usually the macros
150<CODE>{rcpt_host}</CODE> and <CODE>{rcpt_addr}</CODE>
151will contain an enhanced status code and an error text
152in that case, respectively.
