I can understand that. It makes a lot of sense now. One thing I could do is to increase the timeout value of the script and hope the false positives decrease or even deactive DNS checks alltogether. # DNS sucks moose rocks. So we have to do a bazillion queries in # parallel to get any kind of speed. Sigh... Whip through the list of # addresses being sent, and validate them by checking for an A or # MX record. We don't use Email::Validate because it can't do background # queries. instead we use Net::DNS directly and call select.. my $timeout = 15; my $sel = IO::Select->new; Could there be any unwanted side-effects from this change?
