intentional mail-slowdown on murphy.debian.org?
Hi! Since [EMAIL PROTECTED] didn´t respond for a week or so, I thought someone round here might know if my perception that murphy.debian.org[0] lets connections sit in the below state for approx. 3-5 minutes is a general one, or if it´s just a problem on my end. sendmail: TAA30329 murphy.debian.org.: client greeting Now I´ve tested this also by hand, confirming it: waldner:~$ t murphy.debian.org 25 Trying 216.234.231.6... Connected to murphy.debian.org. Escape character is '^]'. some 3 minutes 220 murphy.debian.org ESMTP helo ka.graffl.net normal responses from now on Is this some intentional barrier against wannabe-spammers (such as not realizing that they could also stuff their mail into master.debian.org which responds quite fast), or something completely different? It´s certainly not a DNS-lookup-problem, at least on my side everything´s ok in that direction. (from a box in a different AS) waldner:~$ host ka.graffl.net ka.graffl.net A 193.154.165.8 waldner:~$ host 193.154.165.8 Name: ka.graffl.net Address: 193.154.165.8 Any hints? I ask because I find it somewhat annoying that when I answer some question here, until the answer finds its way to the list (which is slow anyway with who-knows how many subscribers) most of the time several other people have also answered the question. This could easily lead to why bother answering? Surely someone has already anyway., I fear :/ ... cheers, rw -- -- Those who think they know it all are -- very annoying to those of us who do. pgpGhU4Yo818U.pgp Description: PGP signature
