At 11:16 AM -0700 8/21/04, Warren Michelsen imposed structure on a stream of electrons, yielding:Is this delay right at the very start, before accepting an initial SMTP connection? Or is it just a delay after the connection is established but before the mail is accepted -- like the delay introduced by the use of too many RBLs?
Just about any delay works. The delay from SIMS doing a lot of DNSBL lookups is in a good place.
I've found that a temp reject of about 5 minutes works very very well, but anything under 90 seconds is not at all effective. But that's a bit different than simply a delayed response. The trouble is trying to time the delay to be over 30 seconds and under a minute, because at a minute a lot of sites will drop the connection.
