Description Jonathan Kamens 2013-06-03 16:29:53 UTC
Created attachment 756407 [details]
patch to block instead of erroring on max children

When the maximum number of interpreters is set by a milter, and that maximum is reached, Sendmail::PMilter violates the Milter protocol by sending SMFIR_TEMPFAIL to the MTA rather than doing initial negotiation. An error code is not allowed there; negotiation is required.

I've posted a fix at https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=85833 and also attached it to this ticket. Please consider including it in the Fedora RPM for Sendmail::PMilter, since it's unlikely that it'll make it into the official Sendmail::PMilter release any time soon.
