Package: masqmail
Version: 0.2.19-1.aylee
Severity: normal

Yesterday i tried to send a 32MB Mail over my 128kBit/s-connection. I got
lots of 'timeout' and 'too many connections from this IP address' error
messages from the receiving SMTP host.

Further investigation revealed, that the masqmail-process had forked off
14 sending processes for the one mail.

The daemon was running with the (default?) setting -q10m.
Sending 32MB over a 16kB/s connection needs at least 30 minutes, in my
case there were other streams, leaving ca. 5kB/s, that would be 90
minutes.

So i suspect, every 10 minutes the daemon saw: there are still unsent
mails (which in reality were still in flight) and started a new sending
process, which caused even more congestation on my uplink. It just
should have waited for termination or timeout of the running sending
process(es).

Setting the queuing parameter to -q10h for this one mail helped.

PS: This could be part of the same problem: /etc/init.d/masqmail stop did not
    stop the sending processes.
