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