<I posted this a week or so ago, but got no response - perhaps my news server
dropped it>
I just upgraded a server from FreeBSD 4.11 to 6.2. In the past, I used this
to prevent throttling of mail sent locally:
# Throttling Defaults
# GreetPause: 2000 # Set in the .mc file
ClientRate: 10
ClientConn: 10
# Don't throttle 127.0.0.1 or LAN traffic
GreetPause:127.0.0.1 0 # Time to wait before 220 msg
ClientRate:127.0.0.1 0 # Connections/interval
ClientConn:127.0.0.1 0 # Concurrent connections
GreetPause:192.168.0 0 # Time to wait before 220 msg
ClientRate:192.168.0 0 # Connections/interval
ClientConn:192.168.0 0 # Concurrent connections
This no longer seems to work - localhost mail gets throttled the moment I start some
large volume of mail being sent, say from a mailing list manager. I changed this to:
# Don't throttle 127.0.0.1 or LAN traffic
GreetPause:127.0.0.1 0 # Time to wait before 220 msg
ClientRate:127.0.0.1 1000 # Connections/interval
ClientConn:127.0.0.1 1000 # Concurrent connections
And things work fine.
I'm just wondering of "0" is no longer understood by sendmail to mean "no limitation"?
