Package: imapproxy
Version: 1.2.6-5
Severity: wishlist
Hello
If during configuration a wrong hostname is entered, imapproxy hangs
in an endless loop. That means the server would not start up if
the network is broken.
I'm not sure if there's a policy for this but I would prefer the app
to just terminate after e.g. three retries but don't affect the other
programs.
bye,
-christian-
P.S.: The problematic code is this for() in src/main.c:
for( ;; )
{
if ( ( gaierrnum = getaddrinfo( PC_Struct.server_hostname,
PC_Struct.server_port,
&aihints, &ai ) ) )
{
syslog( LOG_ERR,
"%s: getaddrinfo() failed to resolve hostname of remote IMAP
server: %s -- retrying",
fn, gai_strerror( gaierrnum ) );
sleep( 15 );
}
else
{
break;
}
}
