Summary: spamc does not retry if a spamd connection times out
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.2.4
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: spamc/spamd
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When spamc opens a connection with spamd, it sets a timeout value that limits
the time it will wait for a valid response from spamd. However, if it has
contacted a spamd child that has hung or stalled for some reason, this results
in (by defaults) a message that waits 600 seconds, then returns unprocessed.
The following patch sets two new options on the command line:
--filter-retries
and
--fitler-retry-sleep
These specify that if a connection to spamd times out, send it to spamd again,
up to 'filter-retries' times, after sleeping for 'filter-retry-sleep' seconds.
If the --randomize flag is also set, it will re-randomize the host list before
resending the message to spamd. This will hopefully add some resiliancy when a
spamd server misbehaves. It may also be beneficial for single spamd setups,
since it would allow for some problematic spamd children as long as some
well-behaved children are still available.
