When the Postfix SMTP server wants to send an SMTP server response,
this limits how long the Postfix SMTP server will wait for an
underlying network write operation to complete.

When the Postfix SMTP server Postfix wants to receive an SMTP client
request, this limits how long the Postfix SMTP server will wait for
an underlying network read operation to complete.

http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_per_record_deadline
gives additional control over this process.


Forgive me being slow to comprehend. Does this mean the time it takes
for the client to transmit attached file data is controlled by this
timeout? If the timeout is 10s and it takes 20s to upload a huge file
will it trigger this timeout?

Sorry, i forgot to finish that thought. If im understanding smtpd_per_record_deadline, the default is no meaning the timeout is just to the start of the client transmitting the file attachment and a setting of yes means the timeout would be in effect until the end of the file attachment transmission? Am i understanding correctly?
