I think that whatever 'fading' MD has experienced is more attributable to the general decline in small to mid-sized mail systems and to a lesser degree, the fading popularity of Perl. I still use MD with Sendmail... and very glad to hear the news of the handover form Dianne!

Re: [Mimedefang] Poll: Who uses the "filter_tick" and "map" functionality of MIMEDefang? (-X and -N options to mimedefang-multiplexor)
Hi Dianne, 1) Does anyone use the "-X n" feature that calls a function called filter_tick every "n" seconds? If not... I'd like to nuke. I don't use this (2 large MXs and a few smaller ones) 2) Does anyone use the "-N map_sock" feature that provides a SOCKETMAP to Sendmail 8.13+? If not... again, I'd like to nuke. I don't really know what this is... have a exposed my ignorance? We do use sendmail though... is there somewhere I can read about this to know whether there will be an issue when we next update?

Re: [Mimedefang] Timeout on md_check_against_smtp_server?
Dianne,
Thank you very much for this!
Changes effected and tested over the w/end and all seems OK. I'd never
thought to do this if it weren't for that little prod.
Regards,
Dave

The general-purpose way of enforcing timeouts is with alarm.
{
local $SIG{ALRM} = sub { die Timeout; };
my @result;
eval {
alarm(60); # Or whatever timeout you want
@result = md_check_against_smtp_server(...);
alarm(0);
};
if ($@ $@ =~ /Timeout/) {
# Handle timeout
} else {
# Handle @result
}
}

Dianne.

[Mimedefang] Timeout on md_check_against_smtp_server?
Hi Everyone, I wonder if there is away to enforce a timeout on md_check_against_smtp_server? We have 1 client that seems to have a dodgy AD binding that means every few months the callout gets stuck indefinitley waiting for the response to the RCPT TO: test and eventually all the MD slaves are used, effectively DOSing ourselves. The call never returns... hoping someone else knows a way to enforce a timeout perhaps? or something better even?
