Previously the $child_timeout was covering complete elapsed time, both our processing and waiting for client, now the $child_timeout only still limits our processing, and $smtpd_timeout only limits waiting time. With Postfix after-queue setup the $smtpd_timeout should be higher than Postfix setting max_idle (default 100s). Some other setups (like a pre-queue setup) may demand substantially higher $smtpd_timeout values; inflexibility pointed out by Martin Schmitt; Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
