  34 <PRE>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;      That's my point.  _Something_ will choke, be it sendmail, the system
  35 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; (too many processes), or Services SENDPASS (MTA refuses messages due to
  36 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; load). Switching MTAs just moves the problem around.
  37 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;
  38 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;You're assuming sendmail isn't correctly configured...
  39 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;Configure it properly and it shouldn't choke.
  40 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;I won't go into details about how you're a VERY bad
  41 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;sys admin if this isn't set. :-)
  42 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;In sendmail.cf:
  43 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;MaxDaemonChildren=limit
  44 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;make sure that limit is set and reasonable.
  45 </I>&gt;<i>
  46 </I>&gt;<i>      BZZT, nice try, neeext!
  47 </I>
  48 nice expression :-)
  49 isn't there a way to limit the time the program waits for the DNS query reply?
  50
  51 &gt;<i> &gt;About services choking, I think the original idea of having a
  52 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;separate process run via cron say every hour is a better idea.
  53 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;That way, services don't choke.
  54 </I>&gt;<i>
  55 </I>&gt;<i>      That has nothing to do with the problem; see above.
  56 </I>
  57 This has nothing to do with the problem related to dns resolving, i agree, but it would help by not having everything
  58 stuck in services... just getting it stuck one step further in a different process :-) That way services will at least
  59 function better.
  60
  61 &gt;<i>      If you want to patch Services to do things this way, fine.
  62 </I>&gt;<i> I won't support it.  (But I do have E-mail functions on the list of
  63 </I>&gt;<i> features to be added for 5.0.)
  64 </I>
  65 Nope.. i don't have that much time on my hands... I wish i did though.
  66 I could then finish up the things that get postponed to tomorrow.
