In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv17737/TMDA
Modified Files:
ChangeLog Defaults.py
Log Message:
New feature: auto-response rate limiting. Meant as a last resort to
prevent mail loops between TMDA and broken remote auto-responders, you
can now specify the maximum number of automatic responses sent to a
given sender in a day by setting MAX_AUTORESPONSES_PER_DAY.
The default at this point is 50. Disable with 0.
A new directory 'responses' will be created under DATADIR to store the
rate limiting information. This can be changed by setting
RESPONSE_DIR.
