Re: [msmtp-users] timeout setting has no effect on --serverinfo command

["Roger Andren" <rogerandren@...20...>]

It occurs when our firewall doesn't allow SMTP for my IP:Port.

So, in our case it's the 2:nd choice.

 

We made some more test and,

first we made all settings including the timeout in our config file (msmtprc) and everything but the timeout worked,

but, when we moved the timeout setting to the cmd line ( i.e. msmtp --timeout=10 --serverinfo ) we got it working!

 

Sendmail works with timeout set in msmtprc, but not --serverinfo.

We are home for now.

 

Tnx.

I don't know, sorry. There are a few systems with known timeout problems
(ancient W32 versions and some commercial UNIX systems), but Linux
should work fine.

Does the problem occur when you
1) Do not have net access or
2) A blackhole firewall absorbs the packets or
3) The remote server refuses connections or
4) The connection with the server is very slow?
