I don't think we've exhausted all solutions yet, but yeah, most likely.

No, but it is wrapped in the low level milter module:
https://pymilter.org/pymilter/namespacemilter.html

import milter
...
# in some thread, perhaps responding to a magic HELO or management
# socket
milter.stop()
...

The C-API doc is here:
https://pymilter.org/pymilter/milter_api/smfi_stop.html

If I can remember so far back, I believe I was thinking, "This smfi_stop
is pretty low level.  I'll wrap it in C module, but not in the
high level Milter.Base."
