Ilja,
I have a small patch that may well fix bug #799100
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=577642&aid=799100&group_id=85894
The general reasoning is
- other daemons can do, so should dbmail
- this must be solved in libc already
So I ended up trying SO_LINGER and lo-and-behold it appears to do the trick.
I have zero+ experience in C network programming so any takers for
critique, shoot.
I've done some testing and I'm unable to reproduce the problem when
the patch is applied.
