http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042 Summary: Option for freezing instead of bouncing in case of signal Product: Exim Version: 4.72 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Keywords: work:tiny Severity: wishlist Priority: medium Component: Transports AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] CC: [email protected] A while ago I run into a bad issue: My LDA segfaulted. The behaviour I would have expected is freezing the message. Exim bounced it back instead, so some messages got essentially lost (even though the sender received the bounce). This is documented behaviour, so I cannot really complain... The LDA used back then was dovecot's deliver. I like to think this won't happen any more, because it evolved a lot since then. But to be really sure, the pipe transport should have an option to freeze messages instead. This is just what the attached patch does: Add the option freeze_signal to the pipe transport. I would even say we should enable this by default, but that's debatable, of course. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
