Package: lists.debian.org Severity: important Every once in a while, my internal caching DNS server screws itself over. Consequently, the mail server, which does DNSBL lookups through that server, refuses to accept any mail, giving a 451 response. When I notice and reset the DNS server, the mail server accepts connections again.[0]
Then, when murphy tries the messages again, it sends many connections at once. Sendmail, as an anti-DOS measure, rejects most of these connections. Hence, murphy queues a large amount of mail destined for me for a very long time. I would like to get queued mail sooner, and I'm sure you would much prefer that mail did not sit in the queue for longer than it had to. Thus, my request is that, in compliance with the RFCs, murphy should send several mails per connection. This will speed delivery and reduce load on my server. [0] I understand the server should not do this (TM), but I am not yet sure of the cause of the problem, although I think I know. However, this is not the point. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers experimental APT policy: (500, 'experimental'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
