I have a user who has been getting mail from a vendor with about 400 to 500 addresses listed in the To: field. From what I can tell by looking at the RFCs, this might be outrageously stupid but it is still valid SMTP. When SM tries to parse a mailbox containing such a pathological message, the PHP DoS timeout kicks in and they get a message about not being able to access the folder. I've bumped up the default PHP timeout to 60 seconds but the mail still triggers the timeout. When these kind of messages are dumped into the INBOX, the effect is that the user is locked out of SM completely.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to gracefully handle these kind of mails? I could configure the MTA to reject mail with > <some arbitrary number> of accounts listed in the To: field, but I don't want to go against the RFCs. -- --- Nathan Valentine - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: NRVesKY AIM: NRVesKY ICQ: 39023424
