Package: maildrop
Version: 2.0.3-1
Severity: normal
maildrop has a global timeout that seems to be intended to stop
non-terminating or excessively long-running filters. However, it also
stops arbitrarily long messages being fetched on my system, because
the mail fetcher pipes the message directly into maildrop. Hence, if
the message takes too long to fetch, maildrop times out. It seems to
me that maildrop needs some idea of how much CPU time it has used (or
some other way of telling it has been running a filter), not merely
how long it has waited.
