d'oh! the return value from catchalarm looks reversed. from notify(2)
[...] A handler must
return a non-zero number if the note was recognized (and
resolved); otherwise it must return zero. When the system
i think you're getting into some sort of note loop. i think it would
be helpful to log all notes. i would try something like this
static int
catchalarm(void *, char *msg)
{
static int chattycathy;
if(chattycathy++ > 5)
return 0;
if(senders.first && rcvers.first)
syslog(0, "smtpd", "note: %s->%s: %s",
s_to_c(senders.first->p),
s_to_c(rcvers.first->p), msg);
else
syslog(0, "smtpd", "note: %s", msg);
if(pp){
syskillpg(pp->pid);
pp = 0;
}
return strstr(msg, "alarm") != 0;
}
but at a minimum, i would reverse the return values.
