rblsmtpd -t?
Hi all,
This is a bit off-topic, but since I run a number of high volume incoming
mail servers, this applies to any ISP...
>From http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/rblsmtpd.html
---------------------------
rblsmtpd opts prog
rblsmtpd drops the limited SMTP conversation after 60 seconds, even if the
client has not quit by then.
Options:
* -t n: Change the timeout to n seconds.
---------------------------
Some of the rbls and block lists are getting very slow in responding to
lookups. So the overall performance of the mail servers is getting pretty
terrible, as each client must wait around while the mail server does it's
lookups.
Does the -t option work in such a way, that if -t 10 was inserted, then
the mail server would wait a maximum of 10 seconds for the lookup requests
to be complete, and if they aren't complete, then ignore them and let the
email through?
TIA.
Sincerely,
Jason
