We don't perform the reliability checks with this code enabled so we do not even know if a smtpd instance can last an hour with it running (we have not run it enough to know if there isn't a huge memory / fd leak). For that reason, the feature is not documented yet and you can't enable it without touching some code to "plug" the mechanism. Obviously, I will not tell how to enable it because by experience this means that several people will just plug it and assume it to work, asking us tons of questions about why this and that ;-) For what it's worth, besides "externalized" scheduler, filters is the next "big" thing we have in our pipe. -- Gilles Chehade https://www.poolp.org @poolpOrg -- You received this email because you are subscribed to mailing list: [email protected] To unsubscribe, send mail with subject: [[email protected]] unregister
