SYNOPSIS

     filter-regex [-l limit] [file]

DESCRIPTION

     filter-regex is a filter for smtpd(8) which can be used to filter mails using regular expressions matching
     SMTP session parameters.

     The options are as follows:

     -l limit  Set the number of lines limit of filter-regex after which the regular expression processing is
               stopped and the mail is accepted.  The accepted values are within the range of 1 and UINT_MAX.

               The default limit value is 0 (unlimited).

     Depending if one of the regular expressions matches mails are either accepted or rejected with a SMTP 554
     reply.  Non-matching mails are always accepted.
