Re: Maximum number of requests per mail at SZS?
Hello, [sun zoom spark [EMAIL PROTECTED], Sat, 29 Nov 2008 14:57:12 -]: , | You may request up to 5 resources in each email you send to | www4mail`AT`szs.net. ` ... Also I wonder if excess requests within a single mail are dropped silently or cause an error message. I don't know! Would you like to test it? By now, I did some testing: - At first, I sent an e-mail with 10 identical GET requests (same URL); as a result, I got exactly *one* copy back. This actually surprised me quite a bit as I would have expected at least five copies, or nothing at all. Is this a known / documented behavior of the WWW4MAIL code? - I then sent an e-mail with 8 different GET requests and got 5 responses (2 of which were error messages due to bad URLs). So it seems that the requests are SILENTLY TRUNCATED to five requests. Maybe this should eventually be mentioned in the documentation.

I think it would be better to allow the user to use up all of her quota with a single mail, rather than forcing her to split the requests into several mails manually as I find myself doing quite often these days. Agreed! But unfortunately, the limit 5 is not a www4mail configuration option. It is hardwired into the Perl source code ... somewhere. I have looked for it, but have failed to find it. If somebody else, with more time on their hands, can tell me where it is, I would be happy to increase it to a higher value. I think 20 would be reasonable.
