Hi Willy,

I agree with you since we don't know the timeout value nor what it applies
to (connection or anything). Thus I think that we should first find and
change that value, and maybe after that take your patch to permit real
retries in case of connection failures.

Thanks,
Willy
Alright found the timeout, which was actually marked with a rather clear 'warning message'. Perhaps attached patch could be applied to increase that timeout to 10 seconds? Should a similar 'warning' still be added to say this allows for some retransmits? (In my test it sends 4 SYN packets if it cannot connect at all.)

Or should it be approached in a different way? Perhaps as a configuration option on the mailers section?

Thanks,
PiBa-NL
