I think it would be real nice to have a MILTER interface at LMTP server level to allow mail modification as required. Mailman runs in large environments and all the 'large organizations' I have worked asked my team and me to customize how mail is processed. MILTER is a great interface to modify mail.
Do you mean a hook in Mailman's LMTP server process? I thought about that in my previous message but decided not to mention it because it's not clear to me how performant Mailman's current smtpd-based (read: async) LMTP server is. What I mean is, I'm not sure how much additional work we want the LMTP server to do.
It would be cool if someone did some performance testing of the LMTP implementation, and it would be cool if someone tried to add some hooks into that server. It might also be interesting to look into alternative implementations. Another reason to push for getting Mailman 3 onto Python 3 would be the ability to leverage Guido's Tulip work for better async IO performance.
Has anyone ever mentioned SNMP as a feature for Mailman?
Nope, but that would be interesting too.
