smfi_stop(3N)							 smfi_stop(3N)

NAME
       smfi_stop() - starts an orderly shutdown of the Milter for sendmail

SYNOPSIS
PARAMETERS
       void  Specifies that the function does not accept any argument.

DESCRIPTION
       The  routine  causes  each  thread to finish its current connection and
       then exit the connection.  When all the threads have exited,  the  call
       to  the	routine returns to the calling program, which may then exit or
       warm restart the function.

       can be called from any callback routine or any  error-handling  routine
       at  any	time  in  the program.	A new connection is not accepted after
       calling

   Notes
       A Milter may also shutdown due the following reasons:

       ·  An internal routine may ask the Milter to abort.

       ·  Any other routine may also ask the Milter to stop.

       The stop process cannot be canceled once it has begun.

RETURN VALUE
       always returns

AUTHOR
       The routine was developed by the Sendmail Inc.
