Basically, milters let you plug in anywhere in the SMTP dialog and run an
check you wish.
Viewable source here:

Exim does (built in) what I'd need to write milters in sendmail for, but
then if there is something I need and exim doesn't do, a milter (mail
filter) lets you write this reasonably easily while being detached from the
main MTA code in case you crash, leak, whatever.
