Q: Sendmail -- working around overly long greet pauses

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm trying to deliver email to some sites that seem to have
obnoxiously long greet pause configured (yes, it's a
Chinese site, and yes, it's their contact address for reporting
abuse... guess they aren't about to make it easy to do):

# date ; sendmail -q -v ; date

I've tried bumping the connect timeout:

define(`confTO_CONNECT', `5m')dnl

(which results in "O Timeout.connect=5m")...  as well as
running sendmail as:

sendmail -q -v -O Timeout.connect=5m -O Timeout.initial=5m

but this doesn't seem to make any difference.  It looks like
the kernel's internal maximum timeout on a connect() is forcing
a shorter interval.

Anyone know what the workaround for this is?  Do I need to force
the kernel's TCP connect() timeout to something larger?

Thanks,

-Philip
