Hi,


I'm getting a maildrop timeout exceeded error, which I understand would happen if somehow a message was sitting in the queue for a very long time, like 5 minutes.


However what I see in the log is this message is coming in immediately after the message is passed through a program.


Here's what I see in the log:



Nov 28 13:01:08 listserver courierlocal: id=00000000000602E3.000000005297A60A.00005B1B,from=<xxx>,addr=<xxx>: post groups Nov 28 13:01:08 listserver courierlocal: id=00000000000602E3.000000005297A60A.00005B1B,from=<xxx>,addr=<xxx>: maildrop: Timeout quota exceeded. Nov 28 13:01:08 listserver courierlocal: id=00000000000602E3.000000005297A60A.00005B1B,from=<xxx>,addr=<xxx>,status: deferred


Some clarification, about what's happening, in the .mailfilter file I echo "post groups" right before passing the message through a program (with the to "|/path/to/program" command).


This normally works. But sometimes I will get what I see above in the log file. The timeout error message comes immediately after spawning off the program. I would imagine if there was a timeout problem then the message would show up after the 5 minute timeout?


Could there be something else wrong that is causing this?

Just normal buffering. Looks like the echo command does not flush maildrop's standard output, so the message gets buffered, and everything ends up coming out in one hairball at the end.
