Twenty minutes seems to be about average for the last week. That's not the norm, but slow email delivery still happens enough that I think it's worth worrying about. If something's disconnected when this stranger tries to email me (repeatedly), I'd like it to still work. >Plus you can always manage the pending queue. Yes. I'd like to avoid that too, but that may be the easiest solution. Note that while we've had this discussion, I wrote the solution I wanted. A Perl script takes a message on stdin, reads headers, hashes them, compares that to a list. If it's on the list, it adds an advice header for TMDA to hold it. Hashes not on the list are added. Hashes over a day old are flushed. I have maildrop run messages through this script right before it sends anything to TMDA. So: * I get messages with identical headers many times, only the first is challenged. * I get different messages from the same person many times, only MAX_AUTORESPONSES_PER_DAY are challenged. Of course, that's assuming I didn't write in some bug somewhere. 8-) - -- Kyle Hasselbacher | "I have made this letter longer than usual because [EMAIL PROTECTED] | I lack the time to make it shorter." -- Blaise Pascal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA+BhA10sofiqUxIQRAubuAJ9xQ4vCznydVcnvxzC7dWf4K0iVSwCbBXrG wnUjq8v7SoE+3LUeLe80TmM= =hJm6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
