http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1426 Summary: smtp_ratelimit_rcpt with factor less than 1.0 Product: Exim Version: 4.72 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: bug Priority: low Component: SMTP Authentication AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] CC: [email protected] When using smtp_ratelimit_rcpt with a factor less than one (1) the delay tends to zero. When reaching zero (or close to zero) Exim smtp receiver hangs when performing the (zero) delay operation. Test case: set smtp_ratelimit_rcpt in config, submit a message to multiple recipients. smtp_ratelimit_rcpt = 0,18s,0.1,1m Send a message to at least 8 recipients. The debug log shows the delay period value and pauses during the delay. When period gets close to zero, Exim delays indefinitely. Can probably be fixed simply by adding a test for a delay of zero around the call to sleep/delay. ----- The intended use-case by user, using a setting of "0,18s,0.1,1m", is to delay the response for the first RCPT command, then respond more rapidly to any subsequent recipients commands. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
