--event-loop-backend=BACKEDN

Uses BACKEND as event loop backend. Available values are glib or libev . If you use glib backend, please refer to the following note.

NOTE: For the sake of improving milter-manager performance per process, event-driven model based architecture pattern is choosed in this software. If this feature is implemented by glib, it is expressed as a callback. Note that glib's callback registration upper limit makes the limitation of the number of communications. This limitations exist against glib backend only.
