version 0.003

This filter translates between hashrefs and the key-value attribute protocols that the Postfix MTA uses for its internal communications.

Unless you're doing something complicated, you can probably use POE::Component::Server::Postfix instead of this module.

Don't use this module directly. See POE::Filter::Postfix::Null, POE::Filter::Postfix::Base64, and POE::Filter::Postfix::Plain instead.

Return a new POE::Filter::Postfix.

Call this on a subclass, not on POE::Filter::Postfix directly.

See clone in POE::Filter.

See get_one_start in POE::Filter.

See get_one in POE::Filter.

See get_pending in POE::Filter.

After parsing keys and values, these methods are called to decode them. See POE::Filter::Postfix::Base64 for an example.

The default is to pass keys and values through unchanged.

You do not need to call these methods by hand; get_one calls them automatically.

See put in POE::Filter.

Before packing keys and values into a string, these methods are called to encode them. See POE::Filter::Postfix::Base64 for an example.

The default is to pass keys and values through unchanged.

You do not need to call these methods by hand; put calls them automatically.

These methods must be overridden by subclasses.

Each returns a string that will be used to parse and construct requests.

See existing subclasses for examples.
