If a sendmail queue run process discovers that a host is down, it can record the status. On freefall, we've typically had a fair few queue running processes going in parallel, and each one has to time out on it's own to discover that the host is down, if you turn on persistant host status you can have all sendmails sharing the "yes/no" deliverability status. As a result, you waste far less resources with futile delivery attempts. On the downside, hosts retried far less often so transient problems are slower to clear... but even that isn't so bad because you can handle a much larger queue with ease. >> - special ruleset hooks for spam hunting and user filtering > > Ahhh! :-) I very much like the idea of a .db file containing (say): #Domainname Message moneyworld.com Get stuffed! Naturally, this is a hypothetical example.. I can't imagine why anybody would want to block such fine net-citizens like them.. :-) -Peter
