The milter API insists on having re-entrant, thread-safe milters.  I had 
oh-so-much fun writing a milter that uses python-ldap, which isn't 
thread-safe in any meaningful way.

If you need to do something complicated, it might be easier to make a milter 
that communicates with a separate daemon process over a Unix domain socket.
