Good.  I cannot test with postfix easily, as all my installs are sendmail.
I am working on srsmilter - which is something (some people in) the postfix
community wants, so finding out the differences from sendmail is good.

pymilter-0.9.2 is in production at 3 sendmail sites, one of which does 
400K messages/day.

That error means that the smfi_setreply libmilter call returned MI_FAILURE:

(in miltermodule.c)
  return _generic_return(smfi_setreply(ctx, rcode, xcode, message[0]),
                           "cannot set reply");

My first guess would be that postfix doesn't support setreply, but
that seems pretty basic to be missing.  I notice that sample.py 
as distributed comments out setreply.  I wonder if that was from
previous testing with postfix.  $%#$&* why didn't I note that in the
comments...

You mention:

I wonder if postfix demands that you set xcode to something, like '5.7.1'.

The next question would be where did your libmilter come from?


P.S.  Did you see the new docs I am working on?  Take the pymilter link
from pymilter.sf.net.
