Hello,
I'm currently developing a plugin which tries to connect back to the
client in order to check if it is a real smtp server.
The problem I'm having with this is timeout handling. If I configure a
low timeout for my plugin (for the outgoing connection to the client),
everything works well.
However, if the plugin timeout is larger than the timeout on the
clientside, it happens, that the client closes the connection and
afterwards behavior of the plugin becomes clumsy. In fact, it logs
something like this then:
Mon Dec 17 23:09:02 2007 vl08s32[11280]: Could not print [450 Connecting host
started transmitting before SMTP greeting
]: Connection reset by peer
(including the newline after "greeting".
This happens, I think, because the plugin tries to write back a message
to the client telling it, that it has been rejected. But since the
connection has already been dropped, the Qpsmtp response() method has no
working socket anymore.
So, here are my questions:
1. is it possible to access the current qpsmtp server timeout setting
from a plugin, so that I can adjust the plugin timeout for outgoing
connections according to this?
2. is it possible to access the actual socket object of the incoming
client connection, so that I could check if it's still valid, like
if($socket) {...} or somethink like that?
kind regards, Tom
PS: I already developed some new plugins, where could I publish them?
