Milter Integration (laikamilter.py)

The Laika BOSS milter server allows you to integrate Laika BOSS with mail transfer agents such as Sendmail or Postfix. This enables better visibility (passive visibility can be hampered by TLS) and provides a means to block email according to Laika BOSS disposition.
