My intent is not to start a protracted argument over this but: The way I read RFC 1123, assuming you understand the implications of changing the sendmail timeout values and you are doing so for a valid reason, you are NOT in violation of the RFC to make those changes. /-------------From RFC 1123--------------/ Based on extensive experience with busy mail-relay hosts, the minimum per-command timeout values SHOULD be as follows: oInitial 220 Message: 5 minutes oMAIL Command: 5 minutes oRCPT Command: 5 minutes oDATA Initiation: 2 minutes oData Block: 3 minutes oDATA Termination: 10 minutes. A receiver-SMTP SHOULD have a timeout of at least 5 minutes while it is awaiting the next command from the sender.A * "SHOULD" This word or the adjective "RECOMMENDED" means that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore this item, but the full implications should be understood and the case carefully weighed before choosing a different course. /----------------------------------------/ - -- EKB Linux: Because rebooting is for adding new hardware.
