Sure, and sorry for the silence, but as you guessed, I also think everyone got busy. > The 23654 mails received for a failed server is a bit much.. I agree. I really don't know much how the mails work to be honest, as I have never used them. I remember that we reused a part of the tcp-check infrastructure because by then it offered a convenient way to proceed with send/expect sequences. Maybe there's something excessive in the sequence there, such as a certain status code being expected at the end while the mail succeeds, I don't know. Given that this apparently has always been broken, I'm hesitant between merging this in the slow category or the broken one. My goal with "broken" was to keep the scripts that trigger broken behaviours that need to be addressed, rather than keep broken scripts. My goal is to make sure we never consider it normal to have failures in the regular test suite, otherwise you know how it becomes, just like compiler warnings, people say "oh I didn't notice this new error in the middle of all other ones". Thus probably the best thing to do is to use it at level 5 so that it's easier to work on the bug without triggering false positives when doing regression testing. What's your opinion ? thanks, Willy
