<!----------- Notes ---------->
<TR align="left" valign=top>
<TH>NOTES</TH>
<TD>
<UL><LI>smfi_addheader does not change a message's existing headers.
To change a header's current value, use
<A HREF="smfi_chgheader.html">smfi_chgheader</A>.
<LI>A filter which calls smfi_addheader must have set the SMFIF_ADDHDRS
flag in the smfiDesc_str passed to
<A href="smfi_register.html">smfi_register</A>.
<LI>For smfi_addheader, filter order is important.
<B>Later filters will see the header changes made by earlier ones.</B>
<LI>Neither the name nor the value of the header is checked for
standards compliance.
However, each line of the header must be under 2048 characters
and should be under 998 characters.
If longer headers are needed, make them multi-line.
To make a multi-line header,
insert a line feed (ASCII 0x0a, or <TT>\n</TT> in C)
followed by at least one whitespace character
such as a space (ASCII 0x20) or tab (ASCII 0x09, or <TT>\t</TT> in C).
The line feed should NOT be preceded by a carriage return (ASCII 0x0d);
the MTA will add this automatically.
<B>It is the filter writer's responsibility to ensure that no standards
are violated.</B>
<LI>The MTA adds a leading space to an added header value unless
the flag
<A HREF="xxfi_negotiate.html#SMFIP_HDR_LEADSPC"><CODE>SMFIP_HDR_LEADSPC</CODE></A>
is set, in which case the milter
must include any desired leading spaces itself.
