Subject: nullmailer-smtp hangs if unable to complete SMTP conversation
Package: nullmailer
Version: 1:1.04-1.1
Severity: normal
Tag: fixed-upstream
If nullmailer-smtp is unable to perform the SMTP transaction, e.g. because
your remote MTA accepts connections but isn't talking, it will hang and
never time out. The consequence is that if your MTA has a problem,
nullmailer will never recover even after the MTA does.
This is worked around in upstream's 1.05 ("Added a send timeout in
nullmailer-send, to kill sending messages that stall"). Please could you
consider packaging the new version ?
Thankyou
Nick
