OK, agreed.

When I saw the following code, I thought the new GUC takes effect at the same
time as wal\sender_timeout. But they don't become effective simultaneously.
The new GUC is effective before the logical replication starts. And
wal_sender_timeout takes effect after the physical/logical replication starts.
So, there's no problem.
[PostgresMain]
if (am_walsender)
{
if (!exec_replication_command(query_string))
exec_simple_query(query_string);
}
else
exec_simple_query(query_string);
The patch looks committable to me.

Certainly, it seems that only my email address appears in the sender field on
the mailer. I'll check my Outlook settings.
