It may be worth testing, as the setting may date from days in which many more clients were ill-mannered. Not saying the default shoudlbe 0, but it is possible that might be effective? That said, the possibility isn’t interesting enough for me to take a swing at it. The default limit is 40 (which I have to say, does seem high). In theory, setting the value to 1 would cause good clients to retry, but we all know about that problem, so perhaps not. Is there anything logged when the limit is reached? Also, note that the limit has to be at least 1, and I am not sure what 0 would do. Perhaps set the error limit to infinity? -- "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
