I am developing the processing of bounce messages as my GSoC project. Currently the `Bounce Functions` are being developed in [this](https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/merge_requests/538) pr on GitLab. There is one `bool` attribute called `bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval` in the `Mailing List` model. It means >The number of days between each disabled notification.
Implementing this has a problem - Say in the case of `process_bounces` function which processes the `BounceEvents` function it is easy it just takes one by one the events from the database and processes them. - In the case of `Send_Warnings` function if the same approach was followed, meaning it would take one by one the `Address` instances, check tuples in the `bounce_info` attribute ( see the pr for this ) and see whether to send a warning mail or not to can be a slow method. - Let's suppose the `Addresses` list is very long, then an `Address` instance in the very bottom of the list whose subscription has been disabled and some warning emails send, now waits to receive another mail as the interval is more than `bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval`. - If the function is enumerating from the top then in order to take action first it has to reach this `Address` instance but the interval is already crossed. This can cause slow performance as the `warning mail` will be sent way late than it actually should have been sent. - Also if I am implementing 2 functions `process_bounces` and `send_warnings` what if both of them attempted at the same `Address` instance? - Basically `implementation on sending warning mails` and `implementation to increase bounce_score` are separate things and they can cause problems if they processed the same instance. Pointers on above will be helpful. Am I missing something above? _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list -- mailman-developers@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-developers-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-developers.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: https://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: https://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
